The Glass Castle

The explosion is a pivotal event, but I'm curious about how it influences their relationships and futures beyond the immediate aftermath. Did it feel authentic to the historical trauma?

The Halifax Explosion isn't widely depicted in fiction, so I wonder what motivated the choice to center a family story around it and how much research went into portraying the event realistically.

Reading about their struggles made me think about the long-term effects of such upheaval. How did others connect with the themes of loss and resilience in this story?
