"Eilis Lacey has come of age in small-town Ireland in the years following World War Two... When an Irish priest from Brooklyn offers to sponsor Eilis in America, to live and work in a Brooklyn neighborhood "just like Ireland", she decides she must go, leaving her fragile mother and her charismatic sister behind. Eilis finds work in a department store on Fulton Street, and when she least expects it, finds love. Tony, a blond Italian from a big family, slowly wins her over with patient charm... But just as Eilis begins to fall in love with Tony, devastating news from Ireland threatens the promise of her future."--p. [2] of jacket.
