Über diesen Titel

 A moving coming-of-age story set in the 1900s, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn follows the lives of 11-year-old Francie Nolan, her younger brother Neely, and their parents, Irish immigrants who have settled in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Johnny Nolan is as loving and fanciful as they come, but he is also often drunk and out of work, unable to find his place in the land of opportunity. His wife Katie scrubs floors to put food on the table and clothes on her children's backs, instilling in them the values of being practical and planning ahead.

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.

Beschreibung von Audible

Why You Should Download This Audiobook: Betty Smith's immensely moving novel is essentially a paean to the human spirit—among most uplifting works we can think of. It's one of those stories you delight in giving to a good friend or family member who might be facing difficulty, certain that it could change the way they perceive life or give them strength to overcome a problem. It's also worth mentioning that this novel is a refreshing, plainspoken American work, a welcome change of pace if you've been lately persuing dense or complex works of literature.

Kritikerstimmen

"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)

This book describes Francie Nolan’s life and coming of age in Brooklyn in the 1900s. Dirt poor but loved, there are intimate details of the immigrant communities that left “the old countries” behind for a new life in the US. How, despite the poverty and prejudice, there is hope and perspective. Families work hard and stick together. There is also violence and a lot of unfairness (particularly towards the women) but Francie makes it through and manages to thrive. Her love of books opens her to new worlds and lifts her from a life of drudgery. Initially I was put off by the intense amount of detail, but it didn’t take me long to get completely sucked into the story and times and fall under Francie’s charm!
