Educated by Tara Westover

4.0

I have no context or personal experience with anything the author talks about in this book. I had to keep reminding myself that this is not an apocalypse story, or fantasy, this kind of story exists in the US today. And yet, Tara’s beautiful writing makes it so I can even start to picture myself in some of these narratives. Compelling writing, good recollection of the facts, and a discerning/fair retelling of the story of her life thus far. She treats even those who hurt her very badly with fairness and consideration.
