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.

##客觀的看待原生傢庭的影響，通過教育明白自主選擇的自由。
評分##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##我也經曆過被傢庭控製-痛苦-educated-建立新自我-疏遠傢庭的過程，但我無法産生共情，因為作者是一個沒唱過歌但一唱就能當音樂劇主唱，沒上過學靠自學就一路去劍橋的天纔。到大學藝術史課布置瞭reading，作者竟然隻看瞭圖片，還找藉口說她不知道也要看字，excuse me? 而且如果真的尊重知識好奇求知，不知道要看也會忍不住想看吧？這樣的作者，寫齣瞭劍橋教授三十多年教學經驗見過的最好的論文，很久沒工作被導師警告可能畢不瞭業重新工作立刻一舉寫齣導師稱贊的博士論文順利畢業，頂著這樣的天纔光環，那我還能說什麼呢。作者以前有多不幸和之後有多幸運並不吸引人，重要的是那些過程中的感受、掙紮、思考和蛻變，但比例上前者太多瞭，後者太少瞭，淪為不打動人的獵奇流水賬。垃圾場部分有一堆生詞，無聊又讀起來費勁
評分 評分##我第一次踏上美國，是在八月份炭烤的天氣中，肯尼迪機場的短暫停留之後，西南部亞利桑那州的沙漠裏。 選校時，因為經濟狀況，很現實地去瞭能給最多奬學金的學校。坐落在鳳凰城外貧窮的suburb， 被周圍低矮房屋包圍的，是一所號稱排名第一的國際商學院，同學們來自50個國傢。因...
評分##嚴重過譽的書。開頭描寫群山還算有點文學性，後麵絮絮叨叨，其實就是講父母腦殘智障、不讓上學嚴重虐待怎麼辦。1/4棄，後半段在得到聽瞭，體驗自我/敘事自我2種寫法，消解對世界的決定論和宿命論看法。中譯名<你當像鳥飛往你的山>好美。
