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.

評分 評分 評分##其實可以給四星,但是為瞭平衡一下高得離譜的分數所以三星。作者的經曆確實讓人心疼,勇氣確實讓人敬畏,但是我有點搞不清楚這種冗長繁雜的敘述究竟是想寫自傳還是小說…作者本身性格(雖然受到原生傢庭影響但真的)不太討喜,敘事風格讓我覺得很“端著”,用書中教授的話來說就是“you act like someone who is impersonating someone else”。
評分 評分低於預期吧,主要是有些書評捧得太狠瞭。 之前看瞭比爾蓋茨的書評,讓我以為這本書是一本可以教我們如何自學的書(或者起碼給一些啓發)。畢竟作者從未上過小學和中學,第一次上課時17歲,最後拿到瞭劍橋的PhD,但事實上卻並非如此。 感覺這本書其實不是關於我們通常所說的教育...
