This is my favorite book of all time. I love the Nolan family. Francie is one of the best characters in the history of American Literature.

A girl comes of age in turn of century Brooklyn. There are great scenes in this novel, such as when Francie finds out she wants to be a writer. Other things just made me think of Lifetime movies--of course, all the women are strong and hardworking and the men are alcoholic or run off. I give it 3.5 stars because it is well-written, just not to my taste.
