Tree Grows in Brooklyn
The American classic about a young girl's coming of age at the turn of the century. A profoundly moving novel, and an honest and true one, a poignant and deeply understanding story of childhood and family relationships. The Nolans lived in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn from 1912 until 1919. Their daughter Francie and son Neely knew more than their fair share of the privations and sufferings that are the lot of a great city's poor. Francie's growing up and beginnings of wisdom are the substance of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."
