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.

If you ever came of age or if you've lived through the sixties, or better still, both at once, you will love this auditory journey into the life and mind of the wonderful author, Carol Sveilich. She brings you with her into a labyrinth of jaw dropping experiences and deep insights with a backdrop of TV dinners and shag carpet awash in a soundtrack of Coltrane, Chubby Checkers and The Beatles. Speaking of sound, this audio version is read beautifully in a clear voice which is easy to follow. No need to rewind (although you may want to, just for the pleasure of savoring the words). But the best part is getting to know the young Carol Sveilich. My only regret is that I can't really go back in time and stand under a street light in a San Jose neighborhood singing show tunes with this sensitive, funny, adventurous, poetic girl. This book is the next best thing.
