"A memoir to stand alongside classics by the likes of Jeanette Winterson and Lorna Sage. . a compelling and ultimately joyous account of self-determination" * Sunday Times *
"A dazzling example of what you can achieve if you set your mind to something…an inspirational, truly unique coming-of-age tale" * BBC Ones to Watch in 2018 *
"[A] superb memoir… Westover’s journey from a remote corner of the American west to one of the world’s grandest seats of learning is extraordinary . . . Her story, of fighting to be herself, is as old as the hills she came from, but Westover gives us such a fresh, absorbing take that it deserves to bring her own private Idaho into the bestseller lists, book groups and, eventually, cinemas." * The Times *
"Westover has a story to tell that shouldn't be ignored" * The Guardian *
"Her story is remarkable, as each extreme anecdote described in tidy prose attests. That someone who grew up in her circumstances could achieve as much as she has is astonishing . . . The central tension she wrestles with throughout her book is how to be true to herself without alienating her family. Her upbringing was extraordinary, but that struggle is not." * The Economist *

Tara Westover was born in rural Idaho. She studied history at Brigham Young University and upon graduation was awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She received an MPhil in intellectual history from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and a PhD in the same subject in 2014.
