Educated: A Memoir

Simply extraordinary. Education snuck up on me a little and by the time I'd reached the halfway point of this incredible book I was unprepared for how invested I had become. Tara Westover manages to articulate the myriad of feelings that come from loving damaged people, how our histories shape us, and how we are formed and reformed by trauma. She does so both unflinchingly and gently, without artifice and with lyrical prose. I couldn't put this book down.
