Title: this book is like an old friend
Review: There are a few books that I always, always return to (Gone With The Wind, Rebecca, and others) and "Tree" goes into this category without a doubt. I don't know how many times I've read it in the 15 years since the first time I read it, but every time I pick it up, it's like coming home again. I have read Betty Smith's other books, and I was disappointed with them. Nothing could compare with the richness of "Tree". I wish a more recent film were made of this book. Ignore the reviews here that insult "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," because this book is like sinking into a big comfortable sofa for a long talk with a friend you haven't seen in years.
