A review by dorothy_dickerson
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams

5.0

I read this with my daughter, who was assigned to read it for her American Lit class. It worked for me, since I've long been wanting to read it anyway. My only problem is that it seems they were rushed through the play, reading several acts and then ... doing whatever they had to do in class for it. I'll probably read it again on my own just to savor it.
I've seen the play before and as we read those familiar scenes my heart broke all over again. Tennessee Williams' window inside a well-meaning but dysfunctional family is beautifully heart-breaking. It left me worrying what will happen to Laura, though I have a good idea. A must read.
