A moving coming-of-age story set in the 1900s, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn follows the lives of 11-year-old Francie Nolan, her younger brother Neely, and their parents, Irish immigrants who have settled in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Johnny Nolan is as loving and fanciful as they come, but he is also often drunk and out of work, unable to find his place in the land of opportunity.

Would you listen to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn again? Why?
Kate Burton is an incredible reader, gives just enough intonation to feel the characters while letting the imagination flourish.

Fonts surround us every day, on street signs and buildings, on movie posters and books, and on just about every product that we buy. But where do they come from, and why do we need so many? Who is responsible for the staid practicality of Times New Roman, the cool anonymity of Arial, or the irritating levity of Comic Sans (and the movement to ban it)?

Surprisingly successful at conveying a visuals through a linguistic medium

The print version could have used its advantage of having a canvas to provide examples of the fonts mentioned, but since it doesn't, the audiobook is all gain. I love qualified opinions on design. Most recommended.
