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.

Beautifully written memoir, but so redundant for one to read and concentrate. A recommendation from one of my foreign classmates, but i don't like it so much as I expected before.
评分五星小说,有中译本。
评分这样的家庭,你在里面了,怎么都逃不掉。
评分从小我以为所有的爹妈都是负责任的成年人,长大后认识了各种形形色色的人,了解了他们的家庭背景,才知道有很多爹妈都根本没长大,越发感激我平凡但伟大的父母。To all those who survived semi-parents, respect.
评分有两个极端不负责任的家长,作者一路走来,最终能成为一位作家,相当不容易。
