After arriving in America, Eilis falls for Tony, a Brooklyn-born Italian American who helps her adjust to life in the city, and ultimately proposes to her. When she returns home, she meets Jim, a man who reminds her of the joys of Ireland and gives her a home there that she never had before.Brooklyndoesnt offer a ton of suspense about who Eilis will ultimately be with, but the choice between Jim and Tony isnt just the choice between two men, but between two homes and two ways of existing. Eiliss ultimate choice reflects everything we know about who shes become, which is why it feels so inevitable.Stream Brooklynon Peacock.Editors Recommendations
