Westover’s accounts of what she endured in her childhood were shocking. I’ve been trying to read books I find more challenging, and having been on a memoir kick lately, and this was perfect for that. This is the second memoir I’ve read that exposed some of the darkest sides of Mormonism, and I’m blown away by how little I knew about it before.
Westover’s writing is formal yet still easy to read and enjoy. It’s somber yet thrilling. I love how she ended so many of her chapters with such poignant, concise remarks, particularly after the most emotionally difficult to read portions. It made it easy to feel like I could set the book aside and say to myself, “And that’s enough of that for now,” so, without a cliffhanger, I could reflect and collect my thoughts on what she had written without getting too overwhelmed by all the trauma she experienced as a child.
