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.

##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. 教育帶來的蛻變在於意識到不能放棄獨立意誌的一刹那。
##What an intense book to my surprise. Setting aside the Homeless-to-Harvard-alike buzz, it is the author's personal struggle to reshape her history and the history around her that makes the book dynamic.

##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.
