It truly is the perfect story - about Francie Nolan growing up in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn in the early 1900s.

I cant believe I was so close… but couldn’t bring myself to care, then it was returned back to Libby and I didnt bother getting it back. I really thought I would have liked this. It’s not you, it’s me.

A beautiful book where nothing much happens, and everything happens, and I loved it.

I loved this book. It was captivating and a quick read. A simple, coming-of-age story, but I was hooked from the first page.

Ah - the good ol’ days… were hard.

Grit and perseverance (along with quick wits - and hope) were the daily traits that kept one going.
