| المراجعة التحريرية | “Tara Westover Is Living Proof That Some People Are Flat-Out, Boots-Always-Laced-Up Indomitable. Her New Book, Educated, Is A Heartbreaking, Heartwarming, Best-In-Years Memoir About Striding Beyond The Limitations Of Birth And Environment Into A Better Life. “[Educated] Left Me Speechless With Wonder. [Westover’S] Lyrical Prose Is Mesmerizing, As Is Her Personal Story, Growing Up In A Family In Which Girls Were Supposed To Aspire Only To Become Wives—And In Which Coveting An Education Was Considered Sinful. Her Journey Will Surprise And Inspire Men And Women Alike.”—Refinery29 “Riveting . . . Westover Brings Readers Deep Into This World, A Milieu Usually Hidden From Outsiders. . . . Her Story Is Remarkable, As Each Extreme Anecdote Described In Tidy Prose Attests.”—The Economist “Incredibly Thought-Provoking . . . So Much More Than A Memoir About A Woman Who Graduated College Without A Formal Education. It Is About A Woman Who Must Learn How To Learn.”—The Harvard Crimson “A Subtle, Nuanced Study Of How Dysfunction Of Any Kind Can Be Normalized Even Within The Most Conventional Family Structure, And Of The Damage Such Containment Can Do.”—Financial Times “Whether Narrating Scenes Of Fury And Violence Or Evoking Rural Landscapes Or Tortured Self-Analysis, Westover Writes With Uncommon Intelligence And Grace. . . . One Of The Most Improbable And Fascinating Journeys I’Ve Read In Recent Years.”—Newsday |
