For the month of December, the HSL Book Group will discuss Educated by Tara Westover.

Named one of the best books of 2018 by the New York Times Book Review, New York Public Library, NPR, O Magazine, Time, The Washington Post, and The Guardian, Educated is the true story of the author’s enlightenment. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Deciding to try a new kind of life, her quest for knowledge took her across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far and if there was still a way home.

The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary. Inquiries about the Hawaii State Library Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.
