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.

這個奇特的傢庭,在這樣的世俗看來有點不靠譜的父母的撫養下,每個孩子倒是把握住瞭自己的人生。有時候看到作者的描述,真的對這個父親和母親連連搖頭,看到她描寫上學沒東西吃,隻能去垃圾箱檢彆的小孩扔掉的食物。可是傢庭永遠是你割不掉的那部分,作者對父母的愛還是大過她對他們的無奈和經常的失望。
