Tara Westover
À propos de cet audio
Number-one New York Times best seller
An unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University
Book Club Pick for Now Read This, from PBS NewsHour and The New York Times
“A coming-of-age memoir reminiscent of The Glass Castle.” (O: The Oprah Magazine)
“Tara Westover is living proof that some people are flat-out, boots-always-laced-up indomitable.” (USA Today)
“The extremity of Westover’s upbringing emerges gradually through her telling, which only makes the telling more alluring and harrowing.” (The New York Times Book Review)
Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag". In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard.
Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. The family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education and no one to intervene when one of Tara's older brothers became violent.
Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. She taught herself enough mathematics and grammar to be admitted to Brigham Young University, where she studied history, learning for the first time about important world events like the Holocaust and the civil rights movement. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
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 severing the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, 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.

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family; she called herself an "excitement addict."

Incredible biography
This shows just how resilient human beings are. From the depths of poverty and abuse some people manage to rise above and this is one of those stories. It’s just a great listen. Seems like it was meant for audible.

a tale of survival
I found this book quite difficult in large measure because of the violence in the lives of the Westover family. I am impressed with Tara's ability to keep moving forward despite the tremendous personal hurdles she met and overcame.
I am saddened by any parent that would cast aside their child and refuse to provide the highest standard of care. The parents in this tale of survival were negligent at best. I had a hard time getting through her story and am glad she has found an element of peace in her life.

Thank you Dr. Tara for a very sincere record of a brutal and lonely journey to adulthood retold with exquisite details. I truly hope for a sequel of your memoir in the forseeable future that could depict accounts of awakening, reconcillation, enlightenments, warmth, and love to be reclaimed by all of your family members.
Thank you Julia also for your sensational and clear narration.
