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 truly 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.

用户评价

成长自不能再怪异的家庭--酗酒的父亲，有教育学位却一心梦想成为艺术家的母亲，Jeannette用超脱幽默的口吻写成的自传。

这本书我已无法看完

期望过高，開頭很不錯，但终究是平淡平凡的生活。

就是那种看的时候一边笑一边小声地哭，到了结局敬酒ol‘ Rex的时候整个人难受得不能讲话。父母都是好人 书里好的地方和我的家里蛮多地方都很像 父母都是超级善良的人 会收养猫 会把家里的虫子放出去而不是打死 但是不会酗酒 不会没有责任感。很多共鸣 希望自己以后也会像自己父母那个样子吧。

父母啊子女啊，是一辈子都躲不过的劫。人们各自笃定的原则、价值，都在亲情面前和解，所谓的，人生的劫数吧。
