Educated

By Tara Westover

EDUCATED is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes with the severing of the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, from her singular experience Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it. Shortlisted for the 2018 BAMB Readers' Awards Recommended as a summer read by Antony Beevor, India Knight, Blake Morrison and Nina Stibbe
