A review of "The Glass Castle: A Memoir" — 1 year ago
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is a great story (a memoir so presumably true) and a quick read. Even though it’s a book about poverty and suffering the author never wallows in self-pity. The details of her childhood are fascinating. How four out of five children survived the disastrous choices of their unfit parents is amazing. And yet even the parents aren’t entirely unlikable. Really good book about triumphing over rotten circumstances.
