[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished "Brooklyn" by Colm Toibin. It is about a young woman who grew up in Ireland and then immigrated to Brooklyn as a young woman in the early 1950's. I liked it. It seemed realistic. One bit in the book was about whether or not to buy a television or if TV was going to be a short-lived fad. I actually listened to it as an audiobook and the narrator did an excellent job of narrating with an Irish accent. Now I have started on "Long Island", which is the sequel to Brooklyn. Long Island picks up about 20 years later. In this one, the main character answers the door one day and a man tells her that her husband has impregnated his wife and when the baby comes he will be dropping it off on their doorstep.
