Böcker av Frances Browner

A wry, humorous, authentic, 'innocent abroad' look at a young woman's emotional and sexual transformation; in the vein of Colm Tobin's Brooklyn, with a 1980s soundtrack. A Bronx Summer explores a life that was left behind, and the promise of a new one, capturing the Irish in New York during the last significant influx of immigration from Ireland to America.I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Bronx Summer and felt comfortable whether I was sitting in the steamy warmth of the kitchen in Dublin or enjoying the frantic life of New York. The writer captures both sides of life with honesty and laughter. -
