compelling and ultimately joyous’ Sunday Times________________________Tara Westover grew up preparing for the End of Days, watching for the sun to darken, for the moon to drip as if with blood.
She spent her summers bottling peaches and her winters rotating emergency supplies, hoping that when the World of Men failed, her family would continue on, unaffected.
She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate.
She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in doctors or hospitals.
According to the state and federal government, she didn’t exist.
As she grew older, her father became more radical, and her brother, more violent.
At sixteen Tara decided to educate herself.
Her struggle for knowledge would take her far from her Idaho mountains, over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge.
Only then would she wonder if she’d travelled too far.
If there was still a way home.
EDUCATED is an account of the struggle for self-invention.
It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes with the severing of the closest of ties.
With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, from her singular experience 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.

中文简介:
国际畅销书《星期日泰晤士报》的一本回忆录，与珍妮特·温特森和洛娜·塞奇等人的经典作品并驾齐驱……引人入胜，最终令人愉悦。
塔拉·韦斯托弗从小就为末日做着准备，等待着太阳变暗，等待着月亮如同血一样滴落。
她夏天装桃子，冬天轮换应急物资，希望当人类世界失败时，她的家人能够继续生活，不受影响。
她没有登记领取出生证明。
她没有学校记录，因为她从未踏进教室；也没有医疗记录，因为她的父亲不相信医生或医院。
根据州和联邦政府的说法，她并不存在。
随着她年龄的增长，她的父亲变得更加激进，而她的哥哥也变得更加暴力。
十六岁时，塔拉决定自学。
她对知识的奋斗将带她远离爱达荷州的山脉，跨越海洋和大陆，到达哈佛和剑桥。
只有到那时，她才会怀疑自己是否走得太远了。
如果还有回家的路就好了。
《受过教育》讲述了自我发明的斗争。
这是一个关于强烈的家庭忠诚以及因切断最密切的关系而带来的悲伤的故事。
凭借所有伟大作家所特有的敏锐洞察力，韦斯托弗从她独特的经历中精心创作了一个普遍的成长故事，触及了教育的本质及其提供的内容——通过新的视角看待一个人的生活，以及改变它的意愿。
