The name of this novel has always been in my consciousness. I think my dad must have read it when I was young. I'm so glad I finally got round to reading it myself.
I found the characters to be real, flawed and likeable. Although the family know dreadful poverty, they are rich in love, imagination and resourcefulness. I'm going to miss them.

I have read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn numerous times. I had to read it again. The first time I read it was in fourth grade. I don't think I "got it," But I do remember liking it. But I think Betty Smith is a classic writer in her own right and I look forward to reading more of her stuff.
