Often scorned by neighbors for her family's erratic and eccentric behavior-such as her father Johnny's taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy's habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce-no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans' life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans' daily experiences are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with honesty. Betty Smith has, in the pages of \u003cem\u003eA Tree Grows in Brooklyn\u003c\/em\u003e, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life-from \"junk day\" on Saturdays, when the children of Francie's neighborhood traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. Smith has created a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as deeply resonant moments of universal experience. Here is an American classic that \"cuts right to the heart of life,\" hails the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e. \"If you miss \u003cem\u003eA Tree Grows in Brooklyn\u003c\/em\u003e, you will deny yourself a rich experience.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe American classic about a young girl's coming of age at the turn of the century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA profoundly moving novel, and an honest and true one.
