By Tara Westover. Random House; 385 pages; $28. Hutchinson; [pounds sterling]14.99
A riveting memoir of a brutal upbringing. The author grew up in a normally opaque environment: a Mormon survivalist household in Idaho, where she endured abuse and received no education. Despite not setting foot in a classroom until she was 17, she made it to university and wound up with a PhD from Cambridge.
##读的很慢很慢的一本书。很多内容让人震撼。我在想要不要把中文版买来认真读一读。
评分##自我的发现有时必须beyond love 爱是一回事 接受是一回事 选择并坚持又是另一回事
评分##Everything I had worked for, all my years of study, had been to purchase for myself this one privilege: to see and experience more truths than those given to me by my father, and to use those truths to construct my own mind. 教育带来的蜕变在于意识到不能放弃独立意志的一刹那。

评分##读的原版。看完中文版的书名翻译解释,依然不同意那个翻译。我认为,直接翻译为《受教了》都可以。
评分##Only ourselves can free our mind
评分##Flee as a bird to your mountain
评分##You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them. You can miss a person every day, and still be glad that they are no longer in your life.
评分##在最需要快速阅读技术书籍的时候花了大量时间读了这本回忆录…唉,我也希望我能用同样的兴趣来读技术书啊…就像tara读文献的那种dedication。加油!
