Book Club Renaissance: The Glass Castle
A posting by May Zeibak:
I chose The Glass Castle because of my fascination with other peoples’ lives. The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls, is a memoir. I only had to read the first paragraph to realize that I would not be able to put the book down. Jeannette Walls takes the reader behind closed doors and reveals with such vivid description the intimate details of her family life – with all the peculiarities and dysfunction included. The story unfolds from her childhood perspective, and is expressed with such sincerity and compassion that I felt immediately pulled into her life – as if I was standing there watching the events take place. Particularly amazing to me is that Jeannette Walls is a public personality, a regular contributor to MSNBC, who has completely opened up and revealed her private life to us in such a fascinating way."
