A review by isabelreads
Educated by Tara Westover

dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

a memoir that takes beautiful advantage of the form to explore the nature of memory, abuse and family within Mormon fundamentalism. It hit the humanities educator in me with the consistency of how often arts and knowledge by way of a good teacher can shape the life of students in myriad ways while also reminding the current PhD student in me that this is possible and why I pursue knowledge within the academy. truly a staple on the genre for many years to come.
