Betty Smith’s “Tomorrow Will Be Better” is a poignant tale of hope and resilience set in 1920s Brooklyn. Margy Shannon, a young woman from a struggling family, dreams of a brighter future despite the hardships around her. Smith’s vivid prose brings to life the gritty streets and tenements, while exploring themes of love, poverty, and the human spirit. I found myself rooting for Margy, feeling her disappointments and small triumphs as if they were my own. A touching, bittersweet read that lingers long after the last page.
Life was like a story, and it had to be told.
