Reviews for Brooklyn

• Great but not all happy ever after ...Book rating: 4

  A really enjoyable read but - I really started to get annoyed with Eilis, though I think that was the point. Quite unusual to have a lead character who doesn't actually come good. Certainly more to this than a happy ending love story. by Sarah Cassie
