Often scorned by neighbors for her Irish Catholic's family's erratic and eccentric behavior-such as her father Johnny's taste for alcohol and her Aunt Sissy's habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce-no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolan's life lacked drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy turns heartbreaking and uplifting, the Nolan's daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. Betty Smith details the joys and sorrows of a humble immigrant American life, creating a work of literary art that brilliantly captures a unique time and place as well as deeply resonant moments of universal experience. Here is an American classic that 'cuts right to the heart of life,' hails the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
