Brooklyn is the story of Eilis Lacey, a young Irishwoman emigrating to the United States soon after the second world war. In this richly imagined sequel, we're reunited with her, 20 years later. It’s the 1970s, and Eilis has built a secure life with her husband and two children. But when a stranger from Ireland brings a shocking piece of news, she starts questioning the life she has created. Has she made the right choices? Is it too late to take a different path?
