pickThe Glass Castle is an autobiographical novel about the author, Jeannette Walls, and her impoverished childhood. The book follows the inconceivable events of her life which she re-tells in a detached and unbothered manner. We as the reader begin to understand how dysfunctional her life and family truly were, and how these traumatic events were interpreted through the innocent scope of a child.
