Educated by Tara Westover

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

One of the most important and infuriating memoirs I’ve ever read. If you want to know some of the worst and most pitiful depths homeschooling in America can reach, Educated displays them unflinchingly.
