A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

A Tree Grows in BrooklynA Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I understand that this is an important "document" regarding the life and times during the years around 1900-1910, but, I found the book to be excessively detailed about day-to-day life in Brooklyn. Taking a page and a half to describe in detail the buying of a pickle is just more than my patience can handle.

A good story, but not my type of book.
