And the fire thing!! Motif carries right through both books.

've reached the point where Lily's daughter, Rosemary, is a little girl and it is SO relevant to the portrait of her painted by Walls in The Glass Castle. It's so clear how Rosemary became the adult she did, because of and in spite of Lily's parenting. So interesting! I'm really glad I read the books in the order I did even though it wasn't chronological because I don't think I would've noticed all this otherwise.
