A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
This classic coming-of-age story captured a moment in New York history now lost to contemporary readers. Set in pre-World War II, industrial Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the irresistible narrator, Francie Nolan, recounts her experiences of poverty, hardship, and life as an immigrant to the reader with candor, innocence, and heartbreaking realism. This first edition copy has won the hearts and minds of readers since its publication in 1943.
