Educated - by Tara Westover

A fascinating book that is a very good read. It depicts a world quite unknown to me. If it were fiction, I would probably say it was unrealistic and not plausible - but it is a factual account. Having said that, at times the author was doubting her own memory and sanity; this just served to make the story more intriguing. Overall, I was left rather shocked that such events could occur, but heartened that escape was possible.

My only reservation comes from my nosiness. I wanted to know what happened next. Did she ever see her parents again? Well, as it seems that they are still alive, that chapter cannot be written yet ...
