April book: "Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls

Synopsis: taken from www.amazon.comMORE THAN SEVEN YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST The perennially bestselling, extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, “nothing short of spectacular” (Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world’s most gifted storytellers.The Glass Castle is
a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look
into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When
sober, Jeannette’s brilliant and charismatic father captured his
children’s imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to
embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and
destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of
domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family. The
Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed,
and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York.
Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their
children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family.Image from: https:/amazon.com
