Brooklyn Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook model of Brooklyn by Colm Toibin, browse by Niamh Cusack.

It really is Ireland in the first 1950s and for Eilis Lacey, for so many young Irish young ladies, opportunities are scarce. Therefore when her sister arranges for her to emigrate to NY, Eilis understands she must proceed, abandoning her family and her home for the first time.

Arriving in a crowded lodging house in Brooklyn, Eilis can only just become reminded of what she has sacrificed. She actually is far from house – and homesick. And just as she will take tentative actions towards friendship, and perhaps something even more, Eilis receives news which transmits her back again to Ireland. There she will be confronted by a terrible problem – a devastating choice between responsibility and one great like.
