Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan is a captivating and poignant historical novel that immerses readers in the immigrant experience during the early 20th century. Set in the 1920s, the story follows Ellie Hogan, a young Irish woman who embarks on a journey to the United States to build a new life in New York City. However, her arrival at Ellis Island marks the beginning of a difficult emotional journey as she grapples with the choices between the life she's forging in America and her past life and husband back in Ireland.

The novel beautifully portrays the conflicting worlds of hope and opportunity in the bustling city of New York, and the deep attachment to her homeland and the person she left behind. Kerrigan’s writing is both lyrical and evocative, bringing to life the immigrant experience with vivid descriptions of both the thriving energy of New York City and the quieter, more traditional world she left behind in Ireland.

Nellie’s story is not just about her physical migration, but also her emotional journey—an exploration of the complexities of identity, love, and the sacrifices people make for a better future. The novel captures the challenges immigrants faced in adjusting to a new country while still being tethered to their pasts.

Ellis Island is often compared to works by authors such as Frank Delaney, who also writes with a focus on Irish heritage, history, and the delicate balance between the old world and the new. Fans of historical fiction, particularly those drawn to Irish narratives or immigrant stories, will find Ellis Island an engrossing read.

With its rich historical context and emotional depth, Ellis Island not only explores the personal stories of individuals caught between two worlds but also offers a glimpse into the broader experience of millions of immigrants seeking a new life in America during the early 20th century.

The novel is the first in the Ellis Island Trilogy, and readers can look forward to continuing Nellie’s journey as she navigates the choices and changes in her life.
