Hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking, Colm Toibin's sixth novel, "Brooklyn," is set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s, when one young woman crosses the ocean to make a new life for herself.Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the years following World War Two. Though skilled at bookkeeping, she cannot find a job in the miserable Irish economy. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn to sponsor Eilis in America -- to live and work in a Brooklyn neighborhood "just like Ireland" -- she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind.Eilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street, and when she least expects it, finds love. Tony, a blond Italian from a big family, slowly wins her over with patient charm. He takes Eilis to Coney Island and Ebbets Field, and home to dinner in the two-room apartment he shares with his brothers and parents. He talks of having children who are Dodgers fans. But just as Eilis begins to fall in love with Tony, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future.By far Toibin's most instantly engaging and emotionally resonant novel, "Brooklyn" will make readers fall in love with his gorgeous writing and spellbinding characters.

评分思乡病需要靠学习忙碌和恋爱成家才能疏解,无比真实又无奈的感觉。
评分书里的情绪果然跟罗南的眼睛一样。结尾未免有点潦草
评分哇,比想象中的好多了,还是一如既往的Toibin式的优美文笔,不过这次故事也引人入胜了,细节之处可见做了不少准备,虽然比《大师》还是略逊一筹,但很不错嘛
记得年前读科尔姆·托宾的《大师》,亨利·詹姆斯的旧年月被他写得历历在目。虽是小说,却更像现实,又或是托宾借了詹姆斯的壳,透过他的眼睛来审视这个世界,再回到自身的魂,冷然追溯昨日大师的琐碎悲喜和深刻匠心。那时就记住了这个人,他独有的克制写法很适合阐释暧昧,詹...
评分 评分和这本书结缘,其实是从那本同名电影开始的。优质小说一直是电影创作取之不竭的重要源泉,《布鲁克林》亦是如此。作为15-16颁奖季的热门影片之一,自己一开始是抵触的:个性使然,对于大热的事物,自己总是持着谨慎的观望态度,觉得愈是赫赫扬扬之时愈是接近速朽。每一年,...
