Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for a decade. She graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014.

终于听完这本,文笔非常非常厉害,敏感细腻又reflective。个人自传,并且成长经历绝对称得上独特,这也是为什么这本书如此好看。但同时也很容易让人relate 起来。很难想象书中那么敏感和多思的女孩是如何经受住了种种摧残和洗脑后不但没有被damaged, 反而blossom 了。 很复杂,...
评分五星推荐。这是一本Tara Westover的自传,她不是名人,可是这本书已经连续登上纽约时报bestseller榜单第一名好几周。 这本书非常有力量,从头到尾充满冲击。作为读者,从跟随Tara步入她生命的一刻,就不停经历culture shock。看美国媒体拿这本书跟去年大热的Hillbilly Elegy对...

评分看《你当像鸟飞往你的山》的时候,会想起一个笑话:一个人在高速路上打电话并大喊,大家都疯了,他们都在逆行。这个原本很有意思的笑话,细想却有一点可怕的意味,如果一个人从小就被教育行走方向就是如此与其他所有人相反呢?这还是一个笑话吗? 《你当像鸟飞往你的山》讲述的...
