The tree grows in Brooklyn
14.99 €
Francie Nolan sees the world differently than others - she sees the good and the bad, knows that life is full of injustice but also full of good people. She goes to the library every day for a new book and reads it sitting on the fire balcony in the shade of a huge tree. And almost everyone thinks she's a bit of an oddball. Francie's family lives in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, and all the neighbors know that the Nolans are not without dramas. The father, Johnny, an incredibly handsome son of Irish immigrants, works as a singing waiter and often drinks, so the mother, Cathy, has to work for two to feed the family. Gossip is also fueled by Cathy's sister, Aunt Sissy, who marries faster than she divorces her husbands. That said, the Nolan household is full of love, and everyone is happy despite their difficult lives. Each of them believes that tomorrow will be better, but they realize that they will be able to withstand any attacks of fate. Why do they have such confidence? To understand this, you need to get to know each member of the family.
