Felicia Nigro BallardA Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty SmithAs a kid, I loved it and reread; Francie had the same initials as me and also there was a library/literary connection. But when I read it at a more (ahem!) advanced age, I found it to be a great historical novel, a book about poverty, corruption and of course, family.
71
The Overstory by Richard PowersI've started it several times but never finished it. I think it is because I have lingered with it. It's that kind of book.
