________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

評分 評分我们要背叛多少曾经,才能找到真正的自我? 看了她的故事,比尔·盖茨说:“这是一个惊人的故事,我在阅读她极端的童年故事时,也开始反思起自己的生活。这本书每个人都会喜欢,它甚至比你听说的还要好!” 离奇,边缘,十七岁前她从未上学 在美国的山区,有这样一个家庭:孩子...
So fine, so gripping, so powerful is Tara's memoir, I'm very lucky to have read it. I don't know her, but I admire her, and I love her, for her courage and great soul. 我的曆史由我創。
评分人終究還是要糾纏於自己的傢庭之後而重新認識自己該和他們擁有怎樣恰當的關係。不是不愛,而是因為我愛你,我更要成為我自己,我纔需要遠離你。
评分16/02/2020-28/02/2020 幸運的人,一生都被童年治愈;不幸的人,一生都在治愈童年。作者顯然是後者。讀第一部分的時候因為書評的“劇透"我還是抱著獵奇摩門教奇怪教義的心態來看的,待讀到第三部分時,獵奇的心理已經被為作者感到痛苦,憤怒,委屈等一係列情感所替代瞭。近些年談得很多的原生傢庭問題,在這本書中又因為宗教的原因使得作者的傢庭情況更為復雜,而作者把在對抗過程中所經曆的苦痛化為力量,以宗教背後的曆史與文化為課題,在學術方麵取得瞭成就,真的是一位堅強又齣色的女性。
评分文筆算不上多好 但是故事很生動 我們沒辦法選擇自己的齣身 自己的傢庭和父母 唯一能做的 也就是給自己拼一個未來 想起之前讀過的god is not great. 有些宗教信仰真的不算好.
评分對原生傢庭的控訴與和解
