At 191 pages it is perfect for a book group. Lucy Barton's estranged mother comes to keep her company while she is in hospital with strange illness. It reminded me of a fictional "Glass Castle". Without a scintilla of sentimentality she lets us see a hard scrabble childhood and family ties that create both misery and solace.
