A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

This is an American classic novel, which tells us about a young girl’s coming-of-age at the turn of the 20th century.

Francie Nolan has needed to be strong from the moment she came into this world, for growing up in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn, New York demanded strength, precocity, and a strong spirit. Her neighbours made fun of her because of her family’s erratic and eccentric behaviour.

The autor of this book has captured the joys of humble life, the daily experiences of Francie’s family, in a sometimes tender, sometimes raw with honesty, novel, threaded with family connectedness.
