The Glass Castle has received broad readership and positive critical feedback for Walls' balanced perspective on the positives and negatives of her childhood. The nature of the dual timelines and the three voices were like a fern in that forest, unraveling and going in different directions at the same time. So, Rita had been hired, and over the course of the next fourteen months, came to adore the two Harrington children, Teddy, who was five and Hera, (Here-rah), who was twelve when she began working in the household.

A wonderful page-turner with a cast of intriguing and superbly developed characters, they manage to strike the perfect balance between being interesting enough to be thoroughly engrossing but relatable enough to be believable. Obviously derived from Mies's Farnsworth House, the fact that it was finished earlier could easily have made the German architect wonder whether others would get the impression that Johnson had instead done pioneering work for Mies, and it could be seen that "Johnson's vision lacked the intellectual rigor and exquisite detailing that were so critical to Mies's genius", according to Ouroussoff. In fact, when Johnson first made a model of this structure, he named it “Dresden Zwei,” or “Dresden Two,” and presented it to Stella.

Absolutely breathtaking was this book where the genius of an author Eve Chase took me through the circle of life. Harrington, loved that she had her own bedroom, and thrilled at living in the exciting City of London. One of the things that stood out to me in this story was the longing I was able to feel through Rita, one of the three main characters.

Mies’ was, of course, primary and mine was an adoption from the master, although it’s quite a different approach. The Brick House, also rectangular, faces the Glass House, but a nearby concrete, circular sculpture by Donald Judd (untitled, 1971) and small circular pools on either side of it serve to soften the rectangular effect, although structures and objects throughout the estate are arranged to show patterns or repetitions of curves and angles.
