About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Selected as a book of the year by Amazon, The Times, Sunday Times, Guardian, New York Times, Economist, New Statesman, Vogue, Irish Times, Irish Examiner and RED Magazine.

The multi-million copy best seller.

A Book of the Decade, 2010-2020 (Independent).

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 16, 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.

From one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2019.

Shortlisted for the 2018 BAMB Readers' Awards.

Recommended by Barack Obama, Anthony Beevor, Blake Morrison and Nina Stibbe.

Critic Reviews

"An amazing story, and truly inspiring. The kind of book everyone will enjoy. IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN YOU’VE HEARD." (Bill Gates)

Having watched captain fantastic (awesome movie), I thought this book might be on similar lines. after reading the reviews, I realised it's very different and pursued it. overall, the book is painful to go through and yet I would suggest you read it. people bear children, but then don't live upto the responsibility towards the life they brought into this world. forget the education part, I got worked up on the lack of basic social behaviour - not caring and almost killing someone in the process, supporting abusive behaviour, making up false fantasies to misguide and relying on poorly learnt alternate medical practices. If living in harmony with nature was the intent, then that was the last thing they were doing. Tara (author) must have been brilliant, or maybe she was uncomplicated to have a single minded focus to pursue what she wanted to reach here. most of her narrative was matter of fact and not judgemental - and that's what kept me going through the pages despite my revulsion and irritation. and that non judgemental narrative became the endearing quality for this book - it told an event as an event, not as a biased moral lecture.
