Overview
A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick
A special 75th anniversary edition of the beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.
From the moment she entered the world, Francie NolanĀ needed to be made of stern stuff, forĀ growing up in theĀ Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn, New YorkĀ demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her familyās erratic and eccentric behaviorāsuch as her father Johnnyās taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissyās habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorceāno one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolansā life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolansā daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg lifeāfrom ājunk dayā on Saturdays, when the children traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. Smith has created a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as deeply resonant moments of universal experience.Ā Here is an American classic that "cuts right to the heart of life," hails the New York Times. "If you miss A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, you will deny yourself a rich experience."
