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 overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans' daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. Betty Smith has 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 \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e. \"If you miss \u003cem\u003eA Tree Grows in Brooklyn\u003c\/em\u003e, you will deny yourself a rich experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe special edition includes French flaps, special cover effects, and deckle-edged paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the century, Betty Smith's \u003cem\u003eA Tree Grows in Brooklyn\u003c\/em\u003e is a poignant and moving tale filled with compassion and cruelty, laughter and heartache, crowded with life and people and incident.
