CoffeeNBooksI think this is such a great description of a relatively ordinary thing. I think Betty Smith does a great job of describing things so you can really imagine them, and I think she also captures Francie's perspective and way of seeing things.4y
Hooked_on_booksI think her descriptions are great. I‘d like a bit more plot, though.4y
LinesUponAPageI love B. Smith‘s writing style! My mom read me this book as a tiny little girl at bedtime. She would let my imagination soar & if i couldn‘t see it then she would describe it even more. We were living in NY. My dad grew up in Brooklyn so it was easy for her to bring Francie & Nelly‘s world to me. After i was older we walked the streets of the poorer neighborhoods just to feel what Francie was feeling. This is a book i read every year. 🎥 is 🤩2!4y

DeblovestoreadI love her descriptions especially this one. It paints a perfectly clear picture.4y
catiewithacAs rich as her descriptions are, I think Smith‘s writing is strongest in her character descriptions. The people are what keeps drawing me back in. #auntsissyforever4y
mrp27Agree with everyone here, her descriptions are beautiful and her characters are really fleshed out, faults and all.4y
LinesUponAPage@CoffeeNBooks it‘s a really old movie so not sure if you will have to rent it off Amazon maybe check Netflix... i hope you find it. Enjoy.4y
