Come discuss Betty Smith's book, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", on December 14th at the library's monthly book club!
The book club will be held here at the Coy Public Library, Thursday, December 14th from 5:00pm-6:30pm.
This month's book is "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", written by Betty Smith. You can request this item through our digital catalog, or by calling the library at 717-532-4508.
"From the moment she entered the world, Francie needed to be made of stern stuff, for the often harsh life of Williamsburg demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior -such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce- no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama.
By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with honesty. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life-from “junk day” on Saturdays, when the children of Francie’s neighborhood traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. Smith has created a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as deeply resonant moments of universal experience."
