The Glass Castle
Now that is an example of an unconventional life.
I read this book voraciously. Quick and easy to follow. And you get curious about what comes next and keep reading until you get there.
She does start the book with a quite puzzling paragraph. It makes you wonder how she found herself in that situation and you will only get that clarified near the end of the book.
As I said it is easy to read. The language flows naturally. The author gives some details but enough to keep you interested and not too much to make you bored or sleepy.
The amazing story of her life as she remembers it, it is heartbreaking and very sad.
Several times I couldn't believe that any parents would treat children like that. But around the same time I was reading it, it came up on the news the story of the couple who had thirteen human beings , some children, and some not so children, living chained to the beds and with little food or care for so many years in California.
Associating that real life story with the real life book memoir made me feel really sad with the possibility of parents to act like that.
It also amazes me how children can survive and sometimes succeed in these situations.
Children have an enormous ability to adapt to circumstances and life conditions, some miserable, inhuman, and cruel, and still persevere.
Enough said.
Good reading for the soul.
