The Glass Castle


Listen Later

This month's book club I discuss "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. Hear my thoughts on the writing style, content, and answer the following book club questions:

  • Though The Glass Castle is brimming with unforgettable stories, which scenes were the most memorable for you? Which were the most shocking, the most inspiring, the funniest?
  • Discuss the metaphor of a glass castle and what it signifies to Jeannette and her father. Why is it important that, just before leaving for New York, Jeannette tells her father that she doesn't believe he'll ever build it?
  • Though it portrays an incredibly hardscrabble life, The Glass Castle is never sad or depressing. Discuss the tone of the book, and how do you think that Walls achieved that effect?

Plus find out next month's book! Is it "Britt-Marie Was Here", "The Far Field", or "Harry's Trees".
