Synopsis "Unha Educación: 2 (Sen Fronteiras) (in Galician)"

Tara Westover, que naceu nas montañas de Idaho no seo dunha familia de mormóns fundamentalistas cuxo obxectivo era prepararse para a chegada da fin do mundo, tiña dezasete anos a primeira vez que entrou nunha aula. A súa familia vivía tan illada da sociedade convencional que non había ninguén que se preocupase porque os fillos acudisen á escola nin ninguén que interviñese cando un dos irmáns máis vellos se volveu violento. Tras o ingreso doutro dos seus irmáns na universidade, Tara decidiu probar unha forma diferente de vivir. O interese polo coñecemento transformouna e levouna a cruzar océanos e continentes, a Harvard e á Universidade de Cambridge. Só entón se preguntou se non se afastara de máis, se aínda podería encontrar o camiño de regreso á casa.

The New York Times named Educated one of the top 10 books of 2018, and the American Booksellers Association voted Educated as the non-fiction book of the year.
