In the years just before the Santa Clara Valley morphed into Silicon Valley, it was a sleepy agricultural basin dotted with cherry orchards. Carol Sveilich’s youth in San Jose was a combo platter of glass walls, cool music, useless gadgets, groovy neighbors, and worry. And, oh yes—sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. In Reflections from a Glass House, the indelible memories of fumbling through school and the passage through adolescence near the “City of Love” are masterfully awash with comedic prose, amusing storytelling, and gut-wrenching recollections.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and now the narration is an added treat! I grew up in the North Bay area outside San Francisco and Carol was in the South Bay, so the book is totally relatable for me and captures the angst of growing up and finding one’s way in the world and family dynamics and trying things on for size and how confusing it all was but everybody was confused, I realize now. I’m glad to have come of age in that era. It was a simpler time and this book captures it perfectly. The narration is perfect for the book. There’s a knowing, a touch of wry in the voice. BRAVO!
