The Tree Still Grows in Brooklyn
What a wonderful book. I liked it very much, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a classic work of fiction that focuses on the life Francie Nolan, a young girl growing up in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. The story is one of hardship and hope. Francie Nolan’s family is poor, but we see that even though it’s impoverished, it can persevere, even triumph.
I’ve lived in New York for a little while, but the modern-day image of Williamsburg (street art, skinny bicycles and hipsters) is very different than the one Betty Smith wrote about when it was known for impoverished immigrants. this book got me to know about Williamsburg more than being there, it is an exemplary tale of what it’s like to grow up there.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn will stay with in my heart for a long time.
