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.
##Audible第三本。边听边看,竟然拖了仨月…
评分##真的一般
评分##Everything I had worked for, all my years of study, had been to purchase for myself this one privilege: to see and experience more truths than those given to me by my father, and to use those truths to construct my own mind. 教育带来的蜕变在于意识到不能放弃独立意志的一刹那。

评分##Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds. 读完中文版又找来英文原版读,好像没那么惊艳了,比起英文书名,Flee as a bird to your mountain作为中文名,特别值得高亮加粗下划线标记一下。
评分##太震撼了,尤其是宇芽的事情之后读到这本书。作者能选择抛弃对自己有毒家庭的回忆、靠自己的努力进入全新的世界并与家人肉体和精神的暴力对峙,真的是一大奇迹
评分读完了,两点感受:一是这家人屡屡大难不死,真的让人难以理解,特别是Shawn和作者的爸爸,看来信仰真的让人强大…但作者与Shawn之间,以及她和原生家庭之间的结局让人唏嘘,作者还年轻,希望人生的最终会是Happy Ending吧。二是作者家出现三个博士,即便她的家庭教育有反智倾向,但她父母肯定还是作对了一些事情,很好奇那到底是什么。
评分##The first English memoir that I have read. Things happened, I don’t know what caused the change, herself or miracle or both
