Welcome to Season 4 Episode 12 of That Pretentious Book Club!
In this episode, the club covers the beautiful novel well-known for its equally beautiful movie adaptation, Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. Set in the 1950s, when young Irish woman Eilis Lacey ventures to America in search of work for herself and her family, her life changes in ways she never could have expected, but leaving home behind is harder than she thought. While the hosts themselves may be particularly deranged this episode, their takeaways from the book are as potent as ever. Join the hosts as they find plenty to adore and laugh about it in this gorgeous and inspiring novel.
