The Glass Castle

Author: Jeannette Walls

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.

Things usually work out in the end. What if they don't? That just means you haven't come to the end yet.
