À propos de cet audio

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick

The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.

From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for growing up in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn, New York demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. 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 heartbreaking and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. 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 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.""

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 beautiful look into life 100 years ago

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

This book was recommended to me by my best friend and honestly I see now why she loves it so much (she’s read it 10 times at least I’m sure). Not only did Betty Smith do a fantastic job with the writing on this book, she is incredibly talented and I will definitely be getting other books by her. But also the narrator, Kate Burton, made this book come alive. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though it had its sad parts. I will likely come back to this book again in the future as it’s an excellent portrayal of how life can still be great even when money is sparse. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story. I would read it first before letting your kids read it though so you can decide for yourself if they are old enough. That being said, overall it is a fantastic read and listen.

A fantastic book

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.

Goodness - such a lovely novel
