![]() ![]() Now engaged to a successful man in New York, Jeannette tries to cope with her parents' accusations that she's betraying their family's values. An older Jeanette struggles to grasp with her parents' nonconformist lifestyle and the psychological abuse and poor conditions forced on her growing up. Her mother is an artist, while her father is an alcoholic who together fail to provide a permanently safe and structured environment for Jeannette and her siblings. In the movie, Larson plays Jeanette, who reflects on her nomadic and unusual upbringing with her eccentric parents. The Glass Castle is based on a best-selling memoir of the same name by Jeanette Walls, released in 2005. Larson was joined by a star-studded cast that included A-list names like Naomi Watts known for Mulholland Drive, Woody Harrelson of True Detective, Max Greenfield of New Girl, and Sarah Snook of the wildly popular HBO series Succession. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the 2017 film starred Brie Larson. Most of the scenes with Larson playing an older Jeannette and Max Greenfield playing her fiancé were shot on city streets in Montreal. Most of the principal production for The Glass Castle was shot on location in Montreal. The Glass Castle only shot in a few distinct locations to capture all of its scenes. 1 day ago &0183 &32 The Glass Castles exterior scenes, made to look like New York in the 1980s, were actually filmed in Montreal, Canada. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His protégé is no exception, not only railing against plant bread, but also lambasting supermarket in-stores and even those local craft bakers that ape industrial breadmaking on a smaller scale.īut for a small book, it is densely packed with nuts-and-bolts information, from working out bakers’ percentages to ingredient suppliers. As you would expect, no book released under the Fearnley-Whittingstall banner would come without a little tub-thumping. Such flights of lunacy have evidently rubbed off from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, whom he works under as River Cottage’s baker. ![]() "If I was a lump of dough," he writes, "proving my final minutes away and contemplating the manner of my passing, I’d choose the old-fashioned way to go - to be slipped, bare-bottomed, straight on to the ash-covered floor of a hell-hot wood-fired oven." Not content with offering a pretty thorough description of the breadmaking process and a range of classic bread recipes, Stevens goes one further with a step-by-step guide to building a clay oven. It’s rare that a book comes along that combines breadmaking and DIY, but here it is. ![]() By Daniel Stevens, introduced by Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallĢ24 pages, Published by Bloomsbury, £14.99 ![]() ![]() ![]() Orders Orders placed through this site will typically be fulfilled from our shop’s inventory within 48 hours.

Handey's very absurdest humor covered all topics, and pulled no punches. It wasn't until later that I could truly appreciate Jack Handey's work, but even as a kid it was all hysterical to me. To be fair, it was mostly Garfield and Peanuts books, but there were two books that I would go back to time after time: Gary Larson's Far Side and a "Deep Thoughts" book by Jack Handey. I thought, "maybe I should take something to read as well."
