________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn''t exist. She hadn''t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she''d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn''t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

En ovanlig uppväxthistoria men ger tankar och reflektioner som gäller många. Dessutom bra berättad med ett driv och en direkthet i språket. Rekommenderas!

Alltså en sjukt bra bok som jag skulle rekomendera för älskare av boktjuven!! De är så annorlunda men ändå inte.
Själv hade jag haft ett hemskt slut på skolterminen, vilket gjorde att jag inte alls var taggad på skolan och jag trodde inte heller att sommaren skulle räcka för att fixa det. Men efter läsandet av denna bok fick jag tillbaka lusten o känslan av möjligheter som jagtidigare haft!! - 5/5 Maria P
Tara Westover has written a truly remarkable story about her life and family. It is exciting, beautiful and very well written.
- 4/5 Jacquelyn P
Yet another tragic case of a dysfunctional family. The parents succeed in indoctrinating their children. Only three comprehend completely what they have been put through.Tara, by dint of her efforts to educate herself, finally manages to break the chains holding her to her family and to their religion.
- 4/5 Annelie G
Här krävs en rätt så bra engelska för att hänga med.
Följ en flicka och hennes familj genom livet med tron på att världen skall gå under.
Misshandel, hot, olyckor och en fanatisk tro på att samhället utanför är fullt av om inte djävulen själv så i alla fall en stat som vill styra dem i en annan riktning.
