Super! I am moved by the Tara's story in pursuing her education. I personally feel attacked realizing how privileged I am to have supportive surrounding to access formal education. The book comprises the journey of Tara with her unique, religiously-super-fanatic family. The dad is against the government, which disabling Tara and her siblings from acquiring knowledge beside the holy book and her dad story. The book, however, tells how Tara manage to discover the the world. Living within small world without external exposure has lead Tara to unravel the unknown. They later become trajectory for Tara to understand the world, herself, and her family, along with honorable degrees she earned. The family culture and identity which grows within her, later becomes an oppression. The ugly behavior that once seemly, later is learned to be an abuse. In short, this book has strong message to never give up finding the truth and educate ourselves. The only issues behind my 4 star is her writings. I don't feel the spark when I read it as it is somehow monotoned. The story is also jumpy it confuses me. It feels as she just put all the compilation of the stories and voila. I don't feel satisfied enough in her explanation abt some points in the book. People say this book is like The Glass Castle. I agree! but I find Jeannette Walls memoir more captivating than this book.
