A glimpse behind the scenes
Based on the First Impression it appears as though Growing Up Bank Street is more focused on the operatic and theatrical upbringing of the author than a memoir about growing up in Greenwich. By the end there is a hint of her ties to her neighbors and sense of community. This is what drew me to check out the first impression and I'm interested in reading this memoir for that aspect of it as the individual communities of NYC have so much history, so much humanity.
