«The Glass Castle» is Jeannette Walls's memoir, published by Scribner in paperback (288 pages, in English).
The author reconstructs a nomadic childhood marked by poverty: her father, brilliant when sober, taught them physics and geology, but alcoholism made him destructive; her mother rejected domestic life. The Walls siblings learned to protect themselves and eventually settled in New York, where their parents ended up homeless.
The book received the ALA Alex Award in 2006 and was adapted into a movie in 2017 by Lionsgate, with Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.
Suitable for adult readers of memoirs and nonfiction, and for book clubs interested in family stories.
