5/18/2023 0 Comments The glass castle a memoirThe Glass Castle Summarized (No Spoilers) My grief led me to quit my job and take off on a solo adventure around the world where, for a while, I was always looking toward the next location instead of enjoying my current circumstances. I was the same way when my partner died of cancer. If her cab idles in traffic for a minute, she gets out to walk. On a personal note, I deeply relate with Walls when, at the end of the book, she is grieving and becomes restless and unable to stay in one place for long. This is helped by the fact that Walls narrates the book herself (a venture that, believe me, doesn’t always work out so well!) Author Jeannette Walls details a childhood of poverty and starvation with the same hunger-pang clarity as does Frank McCourt in Angela’s Ashes.īut the storytelling is so vivid that you feel as though you, too, are in the back of a 1960s Plymouth headed with the Walls family on the next adventure to nowhere and everywhere all at once. By delightful, I don’t mean that the words were easy to absorb.
