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.

评分Walls夫妇属于那种半调子:有能力,但经常掉链子。这种人最让人头痛,因为你会相信他们,然后他们有时给你惊喜,却也总时常地让你后悔自己的信任。
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"One benefit of Summer was that each day we had more light to read by."
评分3.5星。真的是所有文学作品中最不靠谱儿的父母了。颠沛流离的生活,有露天看星星的有趣浪漫,更多是没钱买饭吃的饥肠辘辘。也算是对homeless 的理想主义情怀的一点点窥视吧。
