`A memoir to stand alongside classics by the likes of Jeanette Winterson & Lorna Sage... a compelling & ultimately joyous account of self-determination.` Sunday Times BBC News Online`s Books to Look Ahead in 2018 Mail on Sunday`s Best of 2018 Cultural Highlights New York Times`s Must-Know Literary Events in 2018 Stylist`s One to Watch in 2018 Daily Express`s Must-Have New Reads The Pool`s Books We`re Looking Forward to in 2018S Magazine`s Best Upcoming Books of 2018 Vogue`s What to Read This Fall ` Both the book & its writer are remarkable in every respect` Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent 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 & 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, & no medical records because her father didn`t believe in doctors or hospitals. According to the state & federal government, she didn`t exist. As she grew older, her father became more radical, & 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 & across continents, to Harvard & 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, & 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 & what it offers: the perspective to see one`s life through new eyes, & the will to change it. ...
