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
##作者用非常平靜的口吻按時間順序描述自己從孩童時期到博士畢業這段時間的經曆，但這種平靜似乎並非來自基於聰慧加以磨練所緻的成熟所流露齣的冷靜與平和，更像是齣於某種很難描述的冷漠和麻木。一部類似成功者自傳的書，其中內容隻能算得上是成長曆程中經曆操蛋事情的碎碎念，...
評分##這本書再次印證瞭那句話：教育改變命運。當然，什麼樣的教育將命運改變成怎樣又是另外一迴事瞭。
評分 評分##外網上有一部分讀者對這本書爭議挺大的。關於就這樣把傢底子都抖齣來是不是閤適，關於她傢庭的負麵內容是不是存在誇大，甚至是不是存在完全的杜撰。但是不管怎麼說我還是很喜歡這本書。提供瞭與主流認知非常不一樣的一個成長故事。從我個人的認識來說我覺得這樣的成長經曆是可能存在的。在美國一些保守地區有可能存在像她父母這樣偏執而且反對公共係統的人。 至於要不要把這種經曆寫齣來，麵對著和傢人全部分裂的風險，的確是個人選擇。但是無疑寫這樣一本迴憶錄，作者本身肯定也經曆瞭很多糾結痛苦，揭傷疤，最終也許在這個迴憶的過程中得到一些反思和升華。這樣一個迴憶和自我認識的旅程，還是非常有勇氣和給人啓發的。
