THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD
'Tragic and comic at the same time... an outrageous story, one that will break your heart' Sunday Independent
'A terrific story, grippingly told' Sunday Times
'I read The Glass Castle straight through in an evening, wearing an expression of slack-jawed amazement' Spectator
While Jeannette Walls was living on Park Avenue, covering the Academy Awards and attending black-tie parties at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her parents were squatting in an abandoned building on the Lower East Side.
Rex Walls, her father, was an ingenious adventurer and a hopeless alcoholic. Her mother was an artist who abhorred domestic routine and the chores of motherhood: 'Why should I cook a meal that will be gone in an hour when I can do a painting that will last forever?' Funny sad, quirky and loving, The Glass Castle is an almost incredible story of a nomadic, impoverished childhood.
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BRIE LARSON, WOODY HARRELSON AND NAOMI WATTS

Nothing is truly just good or bad, but this book.
Jeannette's childhood is full of dreams and adventure. She knows, her father will build her a glass castle one day. But in order to live the future everyone in her family dreams of, they must overcome the obstacles of life itself. That alone seems impossible for them. And probably is... Knowing that this isn't fiction but Jeannette Walls' biography makes me cry every time. Through the eyes of her as a child, she guides the reader through her improbable growing-up. Her father, the central figure of everything good and bad that happened in her life, is at the same time relatable as well as a real-life monster. Walls tells the tale of the ugly truth and how one overcomes it with time. One of my all-time favorite reads!
