"A memoir to stand alongside the classics... compelling and joyous" — Sunday Times
Tara Westover grew up preparing for the end of the world. She was never put in school, never taken to the doctor. She did not even have a birth certificate until she was nine years old.
At sixteen, to escape her father's radicalism and a violent older brother, Tara left home. What followed was a struggle for self-invention, a journey 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.
"It will make your heart soar" — Guardian
"Jaw-dropping and inspiring, everyone should read this book" — Stylist
"Absolutely superb... so gripping I could hardly breathe" — Sophie Hannah
