A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
by
main characters
Francie Nolan, Nolan family, Lee Rhynor, Ben Blake
Rip's impressions
Beautifully written––I fell in love with Francie; she's such a soft tender girl, who navigates the tumultuous life of a drunk bartender's daughter with great character. A truly Great American Novel. Compare her experience alongside that of Studs Lonnigan in Chicago.
first line
Serene was a word you could put to Brooklyn, New York.
last lines
(spoiler alert)
She closed the window.
