A review by christiek
Brooklyn, by Colm Tóibín

3.0

I thought this was fairly ho-hum enjoyable tale until about the last 75 pages and then I saw where it was going. The tension became so high for me I had to read that last page before I could go back and finish. I've never done that before. That this character dragged me through so much worry and tension, was a whole new experience and colored the rest of the book for me. I think I enjoyed it.
