Glass Castle: A Memoir (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Jeanette Walls is a gifted storyteller.
But they are not telling a fictional story, but a true, their own.
And it does so without the slightest self-pity. She tells about her childhood as the daughter of a hyper-intelligent, alcoholic father and an ambitious artist-mother who both fail at their ideals. The four children are the erratic whims of lebensuntüchtigen parents helpless and do the obvious, namely the best of it.

A wonderful, inspiring, amazing story about an unusual family on the edge of society. The proof that they exist, the people who "against all odds" as Resilient be the heroes of their own lives.

German translation under the title: The Glass Castle.
