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.
用戶評價
##讀到中途哭瞭好幾次，緩瞭幾天纔慢慢讀完。關於宗教和教育的影響，關於傢庭與身份認同的矛盾，關於女性意識和成長的掙紮，關於邊緣和主流的思考，是我眼中“瞭不起”的女性的故事。
評分 評分 評分##不如其他自傳那麼insightful和inspiring，看到作者充滿怨恨的控訴，受盡虐待卻一次次返迴那個傢，會不禁憤怒。 覺得書裏並沒有著重寫教育的意義，因為作者就是奇跡般地從不認識數學符號、不知道法國、不認識holocaust，到一邊乾活一邊自學拿到ACT高分、接二連三獲得奬學金、殺進劍橋、獲得PhD的。 關於傢人變態施虐的細節描述太多，其他的部分很跳躍，讓人覺得她成功的原因好像更多的是自己超群的智力、能力及運氣，而不是教育。 另外，關於傢人接二連三的車禍、腦外傷和大麵積燒傷，在一個連如廁後手都不洗的傢庭中，所有人都能避免感染、順利恢復後繼續正常做繁重的體力活，也有點難以置信。
