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.

Truly inspiring. My childhood was a walk in the park compared to hers.
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。
评分一本极有分量的个人史。不光和教育相关,还包含了由原教旨主义宗教,右翼立场,暴力和原生家庭沼泽建构起来的我所完全陌生的一个世界。阅读过程中不下十次觉得生理性不适,但也正因如此,看到最后几章作者忍痛和原生家庭划清界限,努力进行自我教育之后的成果,才更感慨于她非凡的勇气(我也要加油啊!
评分说实话没觉得好震撼,觉得是个dramatic story。现在特别想读Dr. Jonathan Steinberg评价说是他在剑桥读过的最好的论文那篇文章。
