London, UK : Hutchinson, [2018]. Toronto, Ontario : Harper Perennial, 2022. ©2018 Description: xv, 334 pages ; 23 cm ix, 385 pages ; 23 cm xiii, 336 pages ; 21 cm Summary: 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. Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one's closest 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.
