A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

5.0

I loved the writing in this book. I loved Francie. I loved the Nolans. I loved the look back to a time that is so distant and yet feels so relatable. As a writer, I loved watching the growth of these characters as their lives changed. And I wonder about my family growing up in Brooklyn around the same time and wish I could ask them questions. What a wonderful read!
