The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jeanette Walls is a wonderful storyteller with a memory that makes me ooze with envy. The detailed recollection of her childhood is nothing short of astounding. I have to admit feeling angry through much of the book at the behavior her parents exhibit, but I trust that to be a rather typical response to this material. The narrative kept me rooting for a positive outcome and thankfully, the writing of the memoir itself is quite a triumph considering the long and torturous road she had to travel to find a sense of peace and control over her own life. A worthy read.
