A review by elledanie
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

Shares such an interesting family’s life story and horrible abuse in such a matter-of-fact even “lighthearted” way. Well-written—expresses the love and loyalty the family had despite their blatant lack of basic care/needs.
