    About this ebook

    THE BELOVED #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER—FROM THE AUTHOR OF HANG THE MOON

    The 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.

    The memoir was also made into a major motion picture from Lionsgate in 2017 starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.

    Editor's Note

    A triumphant exposé…

    With millions of copies sold and a film adaptation starring Brie Larson, reporter Walls’ memoir is a triumphant exposé on the one subject she knows best: her dysfunctional family.

      This is a book you won't want to start until you have time to finish it. The acutely observed details of the author's life story, the nuanced emotions that never sink to being maudlin, and a story line that HAS to be true because it's too incredible to be made up -- all this and more make it one of the most compelling, moving books I've read.
    • 4/5
      I've given this memoir four stars, because I found it well written and a page-turner. But.. it was so sad and depressing and somehow unredeemed. The parents never learned from their mistakes or even comprehended what they had done to their children. The parents justified their actions in wholly false ways and I wanted them called to account for this. I think the author feels that there were things about her childhood for which she is right to feel grateful, but I don't think that as readers we agree. The children suffer both physically (in ways that scar them) and psychologically (especially Maureen - who is strangely absent for much of the book, to the extent that I kept forgetting her existence) and I wanted the author to be angrier. I would not read this again.
    • 5/5
      Walls biography begins with her looking out a taxi window and seeing her mother going thru a dumpster. , She then goes back to her childhood, beginning at her earliest memories: being burnt cooking hotdogs for herself at age 4, painting her skin so the holes in her clothes aren't as obvious, searching for food in the garbage, and much, much more. The family is comprised of unforgettable characters in this excellent, unusual book. Writing as a child, she relays the story of her and her 3 siblings, and how she made it through such a rough upbringing to become a well known columnist. Heartbreaking and poignant. Those who like this book may wish to read Wall's follow-up, Half Broke Horses, a novel based on the life of the author's grandmother, Lily Casey Smith.
    • 5/5
      One of the best books I've ever read! So well written. Incredible story of hardship, love and perseverance.
    • 1/5
      I find it hard to believe this is a true story. The pain these 4 children experienced growing up in an old mining town in West Virginia was very sad. When the grandmother molested the son, Brian, I almost vomited. Horrible was the only word I could use. The father, Rex, the town drunk & the mother, Rose Mary, choose their weird ways to live, but what they did to their children is unforgivable. The author, Jeanette Walls, was very strong. How she survived and finally moved t New York and became so successful is an inspiration. I loved her brother, Brian, who became a policeman in New York.

    • 4/5
      Walls is such a brilliant writer; she writes about her most unfortunate circumstances but without any self-pity. That is refreshing. Her style is very poetic yet grounded. I guess I could relate to some of the situations she encountered since I grew up in similar situations (not to her extreme, however). At any rate, a very enjoyable memoir and well-deserving of its popularity.
    • 4/5
      Jeannette caught my attention on the first page. She is a great writer. I can't imagine how hard it was to tell her own story. It is not a light read, by no means. It is about her dysfunctional family, alcoholism, child neglect and abuse. Very well done.
    • 4/5
      All the reviews I had read were good on this book so I finally got around to reading it and wished many times I had read it when it first came out. An excellent book with characters you won't forget very easily. How this daughter could feel that much compassion for her parents after the way she was raised amazes me but I guess this is what is called forgiveness in life. Looking forward to her new book "Half Broke Horses".
    • 5/5
      I read this book for my book club. I finished it right away and could not wait to see what would happen next. If you like this one read The Lost Mother it isn't a true story but similar and even more drama.
    • 5/5
      Children either grow up because of their parents or almost in spite of them, either way the years still pass and little kids who are cared for or pretty much neglected become adults. Jeannette Walls wrote her story in The Glass Castle and I can say that so far this year it is my top pick, no doubt about it. Jeannette grew up with an alcoholic dad, who made too many broken promises and a mother who thought working was giving up on her dream to become an artist. So they lived in willful poverty. Jeannette had three siblings and life was not easy. The dreams of their parents never seemed to materialize into anything that could get them enough food, a warm house or clothes. As much as it would have been daunting, even more than I care to know, to grow up hungry, cold, and neglected, Jeannette speaks in an honest voice and she never seemed to loving her mother and father. The Glass Castle is an incredible memoir of a life, and more importantly of perseverance, dreams and the heart to see things through.The honesty of The Glass Castle is what rang the clearest, the voice of a girl while not enjoying her childhood the way it could (should) have been enjoyed, she made the best of it. A childhood filled with rotten food, the digging in the school's bathroom trash for leftover lunches, but what a woman those circumstances made! There is a conscious choice Jeannette makes over and over to try and believe that her parents have their best interests in mind, that they are trying, that they will make it, a choice to live on.The writing is so beautiful. The voice is of a girl, now woman that is so strong, so stunning and yet so openly vulnerable that the reader feels completely engulfed in her life and in the outcome. I marvel, I have not been impressed like this for a while. If all I could do would be to tell any slightly interested reader:"Even if you don't think you'll like it, this is a must read!!! " That would be exactly what I would say. I hope you'll give it a try if you haven't, I didn't think I'd like it, since I usually have a hard time with non-fiction, it seems boring and slow, this was nothing like that...just pure beauty.
    • 4/5
      The Glass Castle is a captivating memoir. The first sentence sets up a delicious tension that holds throughout the book:"I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the window and saw Mom rooting through a Dumpster."Not only does Jeanette Walls compel the reader to wonder what is going to happen next, but she sparks the best questions of all for good books, "What would I have done?" It's an engaging premise.
    • 5/5
      Really enjoyed the story. Not the type of book i would typically read but could not put it down.
    • 4/5
      Really interesting book. Amazing how one person can pull herself out of negative circumstances. In this book, the family lived in abject poverty, seemingly by choice.
    • 4/5
      I'm very tempted to give this book a 5-star rating.

      It serves as a testament to this book that I read it in a single, waking day. Not because it's relatively short, but because I simply could not put the book down.

      Walls' memoir catalogues the unique experiences she had to suffer through in her childhood, with an incredibly unique family. Her father, an increasingly unreliable drunk, and her mother, an artist who afforded her children very little attention, still managed to love her immensely. Jeanette's love shines through for them in this book.

      While at times I got the feeling of "is she done simply listing her parents' wrongs; will we ever get past the age of ten and enter into the real world?" by the end of the book, I had realized that, well. . . her childhood was the real world. She had learned that families aren't always going to be perfect (or anywhere near perfect). She had learned to stand up for herself, and how to make her life happen the way that she wanted it to.

      Most important to me, though, is the realization that I while reading it: she could count on her family for love. They messed up, immense mistakes, and dragged four kids behind them on their life-long everlasting journey away, just AWAY from life and reality, yes. But. They taught her love, and how to look out for herself. I don't doubt for a second that they are a family filled with love for each other. A unique kind of love, no doubt. But it's love.
    • 3/5
      Unbelievable, fascinating, sad memoir.
    • 5/5
      I really never read memoirs, but after this and "Million Little Pieces" I think I'm addicted. My friend Susan told me I would love this book and I truly couldn't put it down. It's one of those books I'll never forget (and usually I forget them)!
    • 4/5
      Provocative. Unbelievable. Amazing. This is story about a girl who grew up in a household characterized solely by neglect. This true story explains how she became the mature, well-rounded woman who goes on to write her memoir. It goes without saying- this novel is a must read. The first page draws the reader in with ease and the conclusion provides closure. As for the "meat" of the story, there's never a dull moment. "The Glass Castle" is deep and thought provoking, read it!
    • 5/5
      Not sure I can add more to the myriad of reviews, but just wanted to say that I resisted reading this for a long time because I tend to put off depressing reads. It is surprisingly not depressing -- though it will make you very angry in places -- and well worth the reminder of how people can be resilient.
    • 5/5
      This is one of those books that will stick with me for awhile. I found it heartbreaking, funny, compasionate, and inspiring. It is an example of unconditional love. It shares that the human spirit has the ability to adapt to just about anything. It shows that with the right attitude and hard work, one can rise above poverty. I would definitely recommend this book to others. I think I even liked it better than the August Burroughs and David Sedaris memoirs!
    • 5/5
      Great Book!
    • 5/5
      It's amazing to me that people willfully live like this.The Glass Castle is a poignant memoir describing the author's childhood living in extreme poverty. Although her parents have the means to provide for her family, they rarely do so. Therefore, the children have to grow up quickly and find ways to avoid starvation on their own.Although the story itself could be heart-wrenching or terribly depressing, Walls' sense of self-worth and self-sufficiency keeps the storyline buoyant, even humorous at times. The family, although highly dysfunctional, is also quirky, which adds a redeeming quality to Walls' parents' fiascoes. Walls' writing is light when dealing with heavy topics. I found that it was difficult to pull myself away from the book, and I was rooting for the Walls children throughout. I give this book 5 stars for style, content, and a powerful sense of optimistic willpower throughout challenging circumstances.
    • 4/5
      Finally got to finish this one. Such a touching book. Beautifully written. Especially was touched by the part they were going to celebrate christmas on christmas eve for the first time. Actually quite sad.
    • 4/5
      This book is amazing. The most amazing thing about it is that it is a memoir, which means it's all more or less true. This is the story of the girlhood of someone who grew up in an environment of extreme neglect. The second of four children, her parents consisted of a violent drunk father and a mother who felt the world owed her everything and she owed it--and her children--nothing. The story opens when the author, at the age of three, using the stove unsupervised, catches her dress on fire and is severely burned. The parents can't or won't hold down jobs and the family is often starving, the children resorting to eating food out of the school cafeteria trash cans after the other children have left. The parents always seem to have the attitude that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, not even coming to the rescue when their children are sexually assaulted. I could go on and on about the awful things these children experienced and in general this is definitely not a happy story, but what is most striking about this story is how the author never talks about anything negatively. The attitude of the narrative always seems to be that this is just another adventure. Through it all, there is love in this family. Despite everything that happens, the ties that bind this family seem to remain just as strong or stronger than those of other more stable, more normal families.
    • 5/5
      I enjoy memoirs like this so much. Jeannette Walls has succeeded in provoking and bringing out feelings in her writing. And whoa are her parents crazy!
    • 3/5
      This isn't a book I'd read over and over, but it's definitely a book that I'd recommend once. It presents a good look at relationships.
    • 5/5
      This was an incredible story of survival and the capacity children have to love their parents no matter what the parents do or rather despite what the parents do. I was blown away with the stories of neglect and outright abuse these children had to suffer at the hands of not only their parents but also society. It was amazing that the children grew up to be so well-adjusted considering all that they went through. These parents truly believed that their's was a lifestyle choice that living from day-to-day with no thought to the long-term care of their children was an acceptable way to live. The most disturbing aspect of this book was that the near starvation/homelessness that the family perpetually lived in could have been avoided by the father keeping any of the jobs that he had or the mother selling her jewelry or the land she owned - imagine the selfishness that had to take. Read this book and then go hug your parents and your children.
    • 4/5
      Oh, Jeannette Walls. How you ever turned out to have a normal adult life I shall never know. Your childhood was ridiculous - unbelievable really. Your memoir, The Glass Castle, made my neck sore from constantly shaking my head in shock. You know that day when Children's Aid showed up at your door? Had I been you, I would have jumped for joy, would have begged to be put in a foster home. But not you. Oh no, you did not want to leave your family. I still cannot comprehend why.You are lucky that the scar you received at age three when you caught on fire cooking hotdogs is the only permanent physical mark on your body. Between rolling out of your moving family car, sleeping in cardboard boxes, living in houses infested with giant rats, and never having enough to eat, one would think that you would not have lived to see adulthood. But you did. You managed to get away from your psychotic parents and make a life for yourself. Congratulations.You may not be much of a writer, Ms. Walls - do you have any emotions? I certainly did not detect any - but you have a story that halts the reader in her tracks. Every few pages I wanted to turn to someone and say, "can you believe this?" In fact, my students who are reading your memoir do just that. For this, I am eternally grateful to you. Your story caused non-readers, kids who do not enjoy school, to ask, no, beg, to spend an entire period reading. Do you know how rare that is? Trust me, it is rare.You never seem to regret your upbringing, and I do find this troubling. Do you really think you benefitted from your parents' unconventional methods? Maybe a person can get used to anything, if it is all they ever know. Or maybe you just held back in your writing, worried you would wound your family. Lucky for the reader, while you skimped on the emotions, you never withheld the facts. We see for ourselves the horrors you experienced, and we can condemn, even if you cannot.So, Ms. Walls, I find myself with mixed feelings regarding your memoir. On the one hand, it is a great teaching tool. But on the other, I am not thrilled with your emotional distance, or the message that you seem to be sending. The very fact that you were never taken away from your parents is a failure of justice. Yes, you survived, but at what cost to yourself? By the end of The Glass Castle, I was still shaking my head - not at your parents, but at you. Yes, family is important, but at some point you need to ask yourself: is your family a source of love, or a source of pain?
    • 5/5
      My future sister in law described this book as "scarring" and my future mother in law described it as "AMAZING" and continuously insisted I read it. They were, in fact, both right!

      The thing about The Glass Castle that is most disturbing is that it's a memoir, and thus, true. The events that happen are not the worst things that could possibly happen to a person, but they are decidedly unpleasant and traumatizing to read about because they ACTUALLY HAPPENED to some poor kids!

      The most chilling aspect of the story, in my opinion, is that the narrator describes the things happening around her as if they are completely natural or even occasionally fun and adventurous. It isn't until she sees more of the world that she goes "...oh god, how have I survived?"

      I don't even know what else to say about this book, other than READ IT if you want to feel privileged and naive. There is so much more to American society than many are aware of (myself included).
    • 4/5

      Stark, unadorned retelling with surprisingly very little judgment towards the events of her early life, Jeanette Walls crafts a fairy-tale memoir as viewed, in reverse, from a cracked and dirty mirror. A reflection on the self-affirming past that we tell ourselves existed when we were really just gifting Venus.

      A valid point from the NYT's review by Francine Prose "At times, the litany of gothic misfortune recalls Harry Crews's classic memoir, ''A Childhood.'' The two books have striking similarities; both, for example, feature the horrific scalding of a child. But to think about Crews's book is to become aware of those mysterious but instantly recognizable qualities -- the sensibility, the tonal range, the lyrical intensity and imaginative vision -- that distinguish the artist from the memoirist, qualities that suggest the events themselves aren't quite so interesting as the voice in which they're recounted."
