A very welcome Elliott Bay return is made this evening by Jeannette Walls. Now widely known as the author of a bestselling 2005 memoir, The Glass Castle, that book was barely out in the world when she came to read for it at Elliott Bay. Traveling then helped establish the incredible word-of-mouth support that has been there ever since (along with stellar reviews). Now she is back with another family-related story, Half Broke Horses: A True Life Novel (Scribner). "After a fascinating memoir about her vagabond parents, Walls turns her sights on her maternal grandmother Lily Casey Smith, who died when Walls was eight. Because she uses a first-person narrative voice to capture Lily's scrappy voice and imaginatively fills in some of the missing details of Lily's life, Walls calls the work 'A True Life Novel,' but it follows the straightforward linear path of biography ... To the end, Lily is one tough bird. Like her grandmother, Walls knows how to tell a story with love and grit." - Kirkus Reviews.
