3. Brooklyn
Book: Brooklyn - Colm Toibin

Young Eilis Lacey dreams of life beyond the confines of her tiny Irish village, and her ambition takes her to America where a job opportunity has arisen in New York. Eilis quickly ekes out an existence in the cosmopolitan melting pot that is 1950s Brooklyn and it seems her dream is truly becoming a reality.

But then fate intervenes: a family crisis back home forces Eilis to make a choice between the past and the future, the old world and the new.

Told with a masterful and elegant simplicity, Brooklyn is a sublime Trans-Atlantic coming-of-age story by one of the UK's greatest living writers.
