Often scorned by neighbors for her familys erratic and eccentric behavior-such as her father Johnnys taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissys 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 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life-from junk day on Saturdays, when the children of Francies 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 New York Times. \"If you miss A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, you will deny yourself a rich experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49667100868848,"sku":"NEW0060001941","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/a-tree-grows-in-brooklyn-by-smith-betty","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
