A Tree Grows in BrooklynHilary!

On February 28, 1945, the film A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (directed by Elia Kazan) opened in US theaters.  The novel, by Betty Smith, was published two years earlier.  It's a coming-of-age story about a girl living with her impoverished family Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the early 1900s.

I've never read it or seen it.  Have you?
