Book Discussion Group October Selection: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

During the month of October the West Long Branch Public Library’s Book Discussion Group will be reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. This remarkable memoir provides the reader with a look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant.

“The autobiographer is faced with the daunting challenge of attempting to understand, forgive and even love the witch…Readers will marvel at the intelligence and resilience of the Walls kids.”
-Francine Prose, the New York Times Book Review

If you would like to read along with us you can check out a copy of the book at the Circulation Desk.
