A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Was my mother's favorite book as I was growing up so I picked it one month for my book club. Everyone unanimously agreed it was one of the best things we've ever read, in club and out.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Great view of the life in Brooklyn with it's seedy side and the warmth of the family relationships and the close family structure.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
I first read this when I was 11, or rather, it was read to me. I read it over and over all through my teen/college years, since the story follows the main character through all those years. Certain pivotal experiences are still the same. Also a great piece of historical fiction to learn about immigrants, boss politics, urban slums and expansion in the late 1800s/early 1900s. And it says a lot about poverty.

This was a suggested book for our book club and I am glad we chose it. I think the characters in this book are wonderful. It depicts a different era with different standards of living. I was sad when the story finished because the author made you care about the characters.
