Reviews

“I could have hung out with everyone in Brooklyn for hours: It's a world you won't want to leave.” – The New Republic

“With compassion, a touch of melancholy and a sense of wonder, Brooklyn reveals the profound truths in a simple, familiar story, ending on a note that's achingly bittersweet, no matter where you're from.” – Miami Herald

“This could feel like an airport romance novel about a girl whose life is transformed by love, but Ronan complicates Eilis's otherwise simple story arc as much as she can.” – The Atlantic
