Betty Smith was born Elisabeth Wehner on December 15, 1896, the same date as, although five years earlier than, her fictional heroine Francie Nolan. The daughter of German immigrants, she grew up poor in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the very world she recreates with such meticulous detail in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Smith also wrote other novels and had a long career as a dramatist, writing one-act and full-length plays for which she received both the Rockefeller Fellowship and the Dramatists Guild Fellowship. She died in 1972.

评分So warm and so positive
评分很容易读,很快就读完了。很经典的故事。
评分It's the portrait of a life time of a little Brooklyn girl who grew up in poverty with hope, dream and love in her heart and mind. The book ends when her life starts, as a woman, in a new world. It's so true and real with all the details that reading it were like watching a film except the words are so much deeper than images.
