Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for a decade. She graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014.
Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

评分##我觉得Tara的实际生活没有她书中描述那样的惊心动魄,而且后来她父母还那么有钱。。。很多情节感觉是为了写书而夸张的。总之,比较平淡的一本书。
评分 评分##还记得高尔基爷爷的人生三部曲的第三部吗?高爷爷从来没有上过大学,社会就是他的大学。小时候发现这件事儿的时候一脑门子的不明觉厉。 我想对Tara来讲,在家乡爱达荷州度过的年月不比在BYU和剑桥的分量轻。也许这是不言而喻的事实。因为使她在众学生中让人眼前一亮的正是她站...
评分##严重过誉的书。开头描写群山还算有点文学性,后面絮絮叨叨,其实就是讲父母脑残智障、不让上学严重虐待怎么办。1/4弃,后半段在得到听了,体验自我/叙事自我2种写法,消解对世界的决定论和宿命论看法。中译名<你当像鸟飞往你的山>好美。
