Jeanette Walls narrates her nomadic and adventurous childhood with her dreaming, 'brilliant' but alcoholic parents. At the age of seventeen she escapes on a Greyhound bus to New York with her older sister; her younger siblings follow later. After pursuing the education and civilisation her parents sought to escape, Jeanette eventually succeeds in her quest for the 'mundane, middle class existence' she had always craved. In her apartment, overlooked by 'a portrait of someone else's ancestor' she recounts poignant remembered images of star watching with her father, juxtaposed with recollections of irregular meals, accidents and police-car chases and reveals her complex feelings of shame, guilt, pity and pride toward her parents. Review: EXCELLENT READ - Excellent read . Worth Buying and reading this book was a rollercoaster journey . I was amazed by the author and her siblings resilience towards life and their strong bond with each other. The way they handled the situations at such a young age was amazing and you feel a little heartbreaking for all the things they had to suffer. Just want to say : it will definitely make you think about your life and the privileges one have . Review: Interesting in ways that aren't usual - This is a truly unique book and demonstrates how different factors play out in how a family comes together. It may not be just the resources available to a family. It's also the overall approach to life that can have a very strong bearing on how the actual days pan out for a family and without doubt the kind of influence that it can have especially on children as they grow into their own beings eventually. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #42,431 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #229 in Industries #994 in Biographies & Autobiographies (Books) #2,584 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 46,013 Reviews | ## Images ![GLASS CASTLE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wJn3SMKGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT READ *by K***R on 21 April 2025* Excellent read .

It had wonderful reviews, but (as I know from experience), great reviews does not necessarily mean that I would love the book too. I had to read it myself. And when I did - I was blown away. To summarize the book in just a few lines - it's the real life story of Ms. Walls; she grew up with a set of appallingly selfish, impractical and self centered parents, shuttling from town to town, and living in abject poverty. Her father is basically alcoholic, and her mother irresponsible & self centered. She loves her parents (as all children do), but it takes her many years to understand that this love is one-sided, and her parents love just themselves, and perhaps each other. How Ms. Walls and her siblings manage to break free of their parents, and how they rise above their circumstances (against all odds), the bond the Walls siblings share (a bond borne out a shared, miserable childhood) forms the rest of the story. What makes the book all the more powerful is one, the writer seems to harbor no anger against her parents, two - Jeanette Walls is a well known journalist in the US, & perhaps a part of NYC high society. To write about her deprived childhood would have required a lot of courage. Hats off to her. I rarely re-read books, but in this case, I just might - maybe just to remind myself all over again what a wonderful set of parents and what a loving & priveledged childhood I've had. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/77553076-glass-castle](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/77553076-glass-castle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
