This months bookclub book was The glass castle by Jeannette Walls and we met at Kelly Cobbs house(which is very nice by the way). This was an amazing book. I read it in like 8 hrs, I couldn’t put it down. It’s a biography book but it doesn’t read like one. The life this girl had growing up makes a normal person cringe. I loved how as a small child she didn’t understand the things that went on in that family but you can see her slowly realizing as she gets older that things were not normal and the parents could’ve been different if they really wanted to. When the book was being described to us, there was mention of abuse but I loved that this family was not physically or verbally or mentally abusive as far as hitting the children or cussing/yelling at them or making them feel less than they should, but the abuse stemmed from the poverty level they were raised in and the lack of food and clothing they endured due to the parents unwillingness to better themselves for the sake of the children.
So, once again…Great Bookclub!!!
Next month we’re reading Alice Bliss by Laura Herrington.
