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.
The American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the century. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

The starlight half revealed, half concealed.
評分一談到這本書,身邊的女人們(如果我稱她們為女孩,她們一定會告我是sexist)倒吸一口冷氣,雙目放光:“Oh, It's sooooo good! Haven't you read it?!” Jacqui談到這本書時說:It makes her want to do nothing but reading. Yes, I know, I know, this is a classic. I'm reading it.
評分拖到現在纔看完。最開始是看兄弟連的時候一個士兵在戰壕裏看所以就買瞭。前麵直到百分之八十五的部分都是滿分,就是到最後的happy ending感覺有點為點題而點題瞭。
