By Tara Westover. Random House; 385 pages; $28. Hutchinson; [pounds sterling]14.99
A riveting memoir of a brutal upbringing. The author grew up in a normally opaque environment: a Mormon survivalist household in Idaho, where she endured abuse and received no education. Despite not setting foot in a classroom until she was 17, she made it to university and wound up with a PhD from Cambridge.
##The first English memoir that I have read. Things happened, I don’t know what caused the change, herself or miracle or both
評分##ignorance
評分##讀的很慢很慢的一本書。很多內容讓人震撼。我在想要不要把中文版買來認真讀一讀。
評分##Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds. 讀完中文版又找來英文原版讀,好像沒那麼驚艷瞭,比起英文書名,Flee as a bird to your mountain作為中文名,特彆值得高亮加粗下劃綫標記一下。
評分##情真意切
評分讀完瞭,兩點感受:一是這傢人屢屢大難不死,真的讓人難以理解,特彆是Shawn和作者的爸爸,看來信仰真的讓人強大…但作者與Shawn之間,以及她和原生傢庭之間的結局讓人唏噓,作者還年輕,希望人生的最終會是Happy Ending吧。二是作者傢齣現三個博士,即便她的傢庭教育有反智傾嚮,但她父母肯定還是作對瞭一些事情,很好奇那到底是什麼。
評分##Audible第三本。邊聽邊看,竟然拖瞭仨月…
評分##Flee as a bird to your mountain
