Conozco el tiempo (I Know the Weather)

"Jeanette Walls narra en EL CASTILLO DE CRISTAL el gran secreto de su familia. Su infancia queda marcada por unos padres carismáticos pero sobrecargados de problemas: el padre es alcohólico y la madre es una pintora que aborrece la vida convencional y no asume la responsabilidad de criar a sus hijos. Los cuatro hermanos aprenden a cuidar de sí mismos, se protegen unos a otros, y finalmente consiguen salir del círculo infernal en que se convierte la familia para marcharse a Nueva York."--
