Talking Books @ LBPH: Brooklyn

In the 1950s, Young Eilis Lacey emigrates from Enniscorthy, Ireland, to Brooklyn, New York, encouraged by her family and with a priest’s help. Eilis is lonely and homesick but takes night courses, meets an Italian boy, and adjusts to American life-until a tragedy occurs back home. Some explicit descriptions of sex. Bestseller. 2009. This title is available on BARD as well as through our talking book service. R.S.V.P.s are encouraged. Call 1-800-242-0586 to reserve a copy of for more information
