The Glass Castle - A Memoir |
Although I feared this memoir by a woman who grew up in a dysfunctional family might be full of whining complaints about her alcoholic and terribly negligent parents, I was amazed by Jeannette Walls' ability to recount the amazing experiences of her childhood, from surviving burns to hunting through trash bins for food. Despite the shocking failures of her parents, this book is full of humour, hope and love of life. Unforgettable!
