Colm Tóbin's Brooklyn is a great read.
It is horrifying how one single nasty person can play such an important role in a person's life. Maybe they force us to make our own decisions for ourselves.
The book won last year's Costa Novel award.
The author uses the expression, 'he left silence for a long time'. Never heard it before. Maybe the author tends towards pretension at times.
