Some books feel less like stories and more like old friends. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of those books.
First published in 1943, Betty Smith’s beloved American classic follows young Francie Nolan as she comes of age in the tenements of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at the turn of the twentieth century. Francie is a dreamer, a reader, a quiet observer of the world around her, and her story has captured the hearts of generations.
This is a novel about hunger, both literal and figurative. About the fierce, complicated love of family. About finding beauty and possibility in the smallest corners of a hard life. Smith writes with such tenderness and clear-eyed honesty that you’ll swear you can hear the rattle of the fire escape and smell the bakery down the block.
This special P.S. edition includes an extra 16 pages of bonus material, with author insights, recommended reading, and a deeper look at the novel’s lasting legacy. A lovely addition for first-time readers and longtime fans alike.
Readers have called it “unforgettable,” “luminous,” and “the kind of book you press into someone else’s hands.” We couldn’t agree more.
Curl up with this one on a foggy afternoon by the cove, or save it for a long beach day along the Marginal Way. It’s the sort of story that lingers long after the last page, like the salt air on your skin after a walk by the water.
A true classic. A quiet treasure. A book worth meeting (or revisiting).
