Abstract
Eilis Lacey, the main character of the novel Brooklyn (2009) by Colm Tóibín, moves in the 1950s from Ireland to America in search of a better future. She secures herself financially there, finishes school and soon meets a guy, Tony Fiorello, with whom she starts a relationship and later marries. When a family tragedy occurs, Eilis is forced to return to Ireland, where she discovers that Ireland can suddenly provide her as much as America - a job and an emotional life. Torn between two places, she has to make a difficult decision regarding her future. Through the character of Eilis, Tóibín illustrates both the positive and negative sides of migration and shows what it feels like not having a place to call home. The focus of this thesis is the question of whether Eilis benefits, financially and emotionally, from migration, particularly in light of how the church and her Irish background affect her adaptation to America.
