I especially liked the sections describing Eilis becoming acquanted with her American boyfriend's Italian-American family, i.e., their apartment (whre they lived), how they intereacted, the sights and aromas of their food. Italian folks were exotic to people from the UK & Ireland.<br /><br />Also enjoyed the attention the author gave to the cultural context of that time period eg. the push for civil rights etc.<br /><br />My mother came to the US from England with her family when she was 16. I gave her this book and she LOVED it.<br /><br />Great review.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149750190427749578noreply@blogger.com
