Book Description
The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional 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 responsibility of raising a family.
The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, 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 truely astonishing - a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family. Jeannette Walls has a story to tell, and tells it brilliantly, without an ounce of self-pity.

五星小说,有中译本。
评分3.5星。真的是所有文学作品中最不靠谱儿的父母了。颠沛流离的生活,有露天看星星的有趣浪漫,更多是没钱买饭吃的饥肠辘辘。也算是对homeless 的理想主义情怀的一点点窥视吧。
评分美国的非虚构畅销书题材和写法自由朴实,光是看这些书就打开不少眼界。盼望着看着看着就开窍了⋯⋯
评分特殊的成长
评分its a good book, but DONT read it.
