Description
When Johnny dies, leaving Katie pregnant, Francie, smart, pensive and hoping for something better, cannot believe that life can carry on as before. But with her own determination, and that of her mother behind her, Francie is able to move toward the future of her dreams, completing her education and heading off to college, always carrying the beloved Brooklyn of her childhood in her heart.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"There's a reason this tale remains beloved after almost 50 years, and it stands with memoirs like Angela's Ashes for its happy-ending triumph over a bad childhood." (AudioFile)
"A profoundly moving novel, and an honest and a true one. It cuts right to the heart of life." (The New York Times)

Goodness - such a lovely novel
I came across this as it was recommended in a US best novels list. It was totally not what I expected - I found this coming of age story it a true page turner.
The hardy wild tree growing outside their attic home, from the stump after it was cut, was a metaphor of Francie's skill at flourishing even in the inner city (and her pervent desire to better herself). The characters were entrancing.
Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Enjoyable narration, even if the character's Brooklyn accent was inconsistently applied.

A true telling of characters with…
A true telling of characters and story with at times an objective view as narrative seems to demand. But one cannot imagine these characters did not exist in reality. Strong women,and a young girl making life work in perilous times for them… life

a beautiful look into life 100 years ago
A beautifully written and breathtaking book. I initially came upon "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" after reading about its importance to american front lines in WWII. I can see now why it kept the spirits up of many young soldiers, homesick for their country.
Betty Smith paints a beautiful picture of what it was like living as a young girl in Brooklyn in the 20's. Even as an individual living in Canada 100 years later, I was able to empathize with the experiences and emotions of Francis Noland.
5 stars for sure.

A New Favourite
Francie Nolan is one of those characters that change your life. It's so easy to find yourself in her personality and her thoughts. Stories about growing up never grow old- and this one is real and beautiful.
Excellent performance.

Interesting and moving, but not for everyone
It's a little slow, sad and depressing, all rolled up into a documentary-style story that often feels like the narrator is reading a bullet list of descriptive items with zero emotion.
It reminded me of Oscar-winning movies that, according to the critics are supposedly great, but you always skip over telling yourself that you'll watch it next time. This is that kind of book.
