A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

I enjoyed reading “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” by Betty Smith. I lived in Brooklyn for three years. Hence I felt an instant connection and was attracted to this novel as soon as I read the title. What a courageous story! I think highly of the characters of Katie Nolan and Francie Nolan. Aunt Sissy was my favorite character as she made me laugh a lot.

The story demonstrates that with education we can conquer poverty. Education is a necessity to improve our standard of living. Education can give us wisdom that can empower our character. It’s a classic for all ages.
