SUMMARY:Thursday's Together + Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. We will meet from 12-2pm. \nBrooklyn by Colm Tóibín\n“One of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary literature” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)\, Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the hard years following World War Two. When an Irish priest from Brooklyn offers to sponsor Eilis in America\, she decides she must go\, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind.\nEilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street\, and when she least expects it\, finds love. Tony\, who loves the Dodgers and his big Italian family\, slowly wins her over with patient charm. But just as Eilis begins to fall in love\, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future. \n“Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn\, about a young Irish woman coming to New York in 1952\, is one of those magically quiet novels that sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations…. How that happens is Tóibín’s triumph”  —-USA Today
