Book Description

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 truely astonishing – a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family. Jeannette Walls has a story to tell, and tells it brilliantly, without an ounce of self-pity.

有時候,她會一整天都非常開心,宣稱她決定只堅持積極的想法,因為如果堅持積極的想法,那麼積極的事情就會發生。
但是,積極的想法也會為消極的想法所代替,消極的想法似乎會突然攻入她的思維,那就像是一大群烏鴉接管了美好的環境,密集地站在樹叢中,站在柵欄的橫桿上和草坪上,不祥地、靜靜地凝視著。 (查看原文)
