This book was beautiful. It was charming and sad and hopeful and honest. So glad my book club picked this one out.
"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" is positively the most absorbing novel and my first domestic romance I've ever read. I know reading books won't even keep me feed and warm and clothed, but, I've taken highly to classic novel reading over the past twenty five years or so. Now that I've finished ATGinB I'm one shy of 900 books read. The strong perhaps are not the survivors regarding a reading habit looking over a life time. The big winners are the fittest at adapting the real world to the job of an ever growing quest for reading in the magic of self education through enlightenment. I have colored the walls of my humble house with the memories of great books. ATGinB is a great novel. It especially created a memory train to stories that my parents and grand parents told of growing up in the early 1900's' A critique called it, "making full use of local color." The setting is Brooklyn NY tenement life. It tells of survival and over coming poverty. Two things I'm accustomed to dealing with. And it is a coming of age book that is so endearing that I give it 5 stars. I recommend this book to everyone.
