Educated: A Memoir
这本书出现在比尔盖茨、奥巴马、纽约时报等的推荐名单时，我总有个感觉是名不副实的，即使那个时候还未开始看这本书。你们看，这是非常错误的，不应该在不了解的情况下就给出评价。
书里讲了一个姑娘在17岁之前从未上过正规的学校，而最后获得了剑桥的博士学位。我一开始看到简介时候，还以为它讲的是作者如何负重从没有受过教育到获得了世界最好学位的故事。实际上不是这样的，学术只是她改变命运的一个契机。而实际上，这本书讲得更多的是，她如何站出来改变自己的命运。她作为一个摩门教徒的女儿，一个有bipolar的父亲和兄弟，一个毫无担当的母亲的环境下，做自己想做和敢做的事情。
文章行云流水，拿起就放不下。有很多生僻单词，也可能和她的教育经历有关系。推荐给所有的朋友看。
我无法想象，当自己的女儿受到他人攻击的时候，父母会坐在边上无动于衷。而在女儿想要恢复受伤的心灵时，父母还希望通过一遍又一遍重复相同的谎言而来消除女儿的记忆。接受的女儿和儿子永远留在家里，不接受的出来写了这本书。

The snows that fell in winter always melted in the spring. Our lives were a cycle—the cycle of the day, the cycle of the seasons—circles of perpetual change that, when complete, meant nothing had changed at all.

The most dangerous moment for Mother had come minutes later, in the hospital, after the woman had been wheeled away. A doctor stopped Mother and asked why she’d been at the birth in the first place. She smiled at the memory. “I asked him the dumbest questions I could think of.” She put on a high, coquettish voice very unlike her own. “Oh! Was that the baby’s head? Aren’t babies supposed to come out feet-first?” The doctor was persuaded that she couldn’t possibly be a midwife.

I phoned my mother after the luncheon. “Your father won’t come unless you apologize,” she said. “And I won’t, either.” I apologized. “He can say whatever he wants. But please come.”

told them I’d been poor, I told them I’d been ignorant, and in telling them this I felt not the slightest prick of shame. Only then did I understand where the shame had come from: it wasn’t that I hadn’t studied in a marble conservatory, or that my father wasn’t a diplomat. It wasn’t that Dad was half out of his mind, or that Mother followed him. It had come from having a father who shoved me toward the chomping blades of the Shear, instead of pulling me away from them. It had come from those moments on the floor, from knowing that Mother was in the next room, closing her eyes and ears to me, and choosing, for that moment, not to be my mother at all.
