The Glass Castle
Jeannette Walls’ memoir “The Glass Castle” is a raw, unflinching look at her unconventional upbringing. With vivid prose, she recounts a childhood marked by poverty, neglect, and her parents’ eccentricities. Despite the hardships, Walls’ narrative is infused with love and resilience. I found myself alternately frustrated and moved by her family’s struggles. The book’s honesty is both heartbreaking and inspiring, leaving me to ponder the complexities of family bonds long after the last page.
