The Glass Castle is a touching autobiographical story by Jeannette Walls, where she recounts her childhood and youth in a dysfunctional but vibrant family. Raised by a charismatic but alcoholic father and a free-spirited mother who shuns responsibilities, Jeannette and her siblings learn to fend for themselves. The Walls family, constantly on the move, lives in a precarious manner, but the children develop a strong bond and eventually escape to New York. This is a story of madness, poverty, and love, which transforms the reader and invites reflection on resilience and family ties.
