I thought “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls was wonderful and so did many others. But nobody knew who she was when she wrote that book. I think the appeal of books like that is the outrageousness of the story. “Educated” by Tara Westover has the same appeal.
Have you ever read a memoir by a non-celebrity that was meaningful for you? What made it a great book?
