The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience & redemption, & a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional & uniquely vibrant. when sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them pysics, geology, & how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest & destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity & didn't want the responsibility of raising a family.
The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed & protected one another and eventually found their way to NY. Their Parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered.
The Glass Castle is truly astonishing - a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family
