具體描述
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.

##其實可以給四星，但是為瞭平衡一下高得離譜的分數所以三星。作者的經曆確實讓人心疼，勇氣確實讓人敬畏，但是我有點搞不清楚這種冗長繁雜的敘述究竟是想寫自傳還是小說…作者本身性格（雖然受到原生傢庭影響但真的）不太討喜，敘事風格讓我覺得很“端著”，用書中教授的話來說就是“you act like someone who is impersonating someone else”。
評分 評分 評分##聽完瞭這本超級震撼的書，翻看瞭一些作者的采訪和其他周邊，還有點緩不過來。不是震撼與Tara的成功，他們傢人想必都是聰明的，而是覺得害怕，莫名地感同身受地害怕，到底什麼是真實什麼是一個人對事實的感受？記憶有什麼可靠的？價值觀和世界觀被打碎時怎樣纔能和解？怎麼能接受自己心中的事實？rationalization是每個人必須要做的，到底要做到什麼程度？我迴想我的記憶裏很多都被掩埋強迫自己遺忘瞭，可是聽這些故事有種身曆其境的恐懼感無法擺脫。
