«Schloss aus Glas» is Jeannette Walls's memoir, published by Heyne Verlag in paperback (384 pages, in German).
In this memoir, Jeannette Walls reconstructs her nomadic childhood with her parents, Rex and Rose Mary, two idealists who reject conventional life and drag the family between poverty and disorder. The father, brilliant but alcoholic, promises them a glass castle; the mother, an artist who shuns work, offers no stability.
The work was originally published in English as «The Glass Castle» in 2005; this German edition is translated by Ulrike Wasel and Klaus Timmermann.
It is suitable for readers of memoirs and biographies, and common in book clubs for its blend of humour and harshness in the family story.
