Brooklyn is well worth a read

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.
