Sometimes my problem with nonfiction is when things get tooooo real. The Glass Castle was an interesting and at times unbelievable life story- but that means it could also be unbelievable sad. The notion that people would raise their kids in this way, or rather not raise them in a lot of instances. The novel begins with a story of Jeannette's earliest memory, catching herself on fire while trying to boil hot dogs to eat. What three year old is using a stove, let alone unsupervised. This is the tip of the iceberg. Against all odds, this story, her story, has a relatively happy ending, but at what cost?
It was a powerful book, but I'm ready to go back into my fantasy worlds now.
