Book
The glass castle : a memoir / Jeannette Walls.
The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfuctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsiblity of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clother and protected one another and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing memoir permeated by the iintense love of a peculiar, but loyal family. Jeannette Walls has a story to tell and tells it brilliantly, without an ounce of self-pity.
