Review: Educated by Tara Westover

My wife suggested I choose this book for our next reading club. I won't say too much about it as there are thousands of ratings and reviews, other than to note you should read it. It's a real page-turner and discussion starter. It's sort of like watching a car pile-up in a fog, violent yet riveting. It's not just a memoir, it's a meditation on education, memory, familial relationships, violence, religion, medicine, and self-discovery and awareness. Truly extraordinary and it's unlikely Westover will ever be able to write anything else of much significance after this.
