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.

評分有個紐約女孩對我說,兒時曾將這本書放在床頭,不忍釋捲。長大後收藏翻拍的電影,百看不厭。她說,我們並不一定非得一貧如洗纔能領會這個故事。 若用消極悲觀的觀點看,弗蘭西沒理由幸福快樂,傢境貧寒,祖輩是典型的新大陸移民,連著幾代人都得在白手起傢的美國夢中浮沉掙紮...
