具体描述
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.
用户评价
##外网上有一部分读者对这本书争议挺大的。关于就这样把家底子都抖出来是不是合适，关于她家庭的负面内容是不是存在夸大，甚至是不是存在完全的杜撰。但是不管怎么说我还是很喜欢这本书。提供了与主流认知非常不一样的一个成长故事。从我个人的认识来说我觉得这样的成长经历是可能存在的。在美国一些保守地区有可能存在像她父母这样偏执而且反对公共系统的人。 至于要不要把这种经历写出来，面对着和家人全部分裂的风险，的确是个人选择。但是无疑写这样一本回忆录，作者本身肯定也经历了很多纠结痛苦，揭伤疤，最终也许在这个回忆的过程中得到一些反思和升华。这样一个回忆和自我认识的旅程，还是非常有勇气和给人启发的。
