Please join us for a discussion of Educated by Tara Westover on Thursday, October 16, 4:00-5:00 p.m. Our book club is open to all Georgetown students, faculty, alumni, and staff.
About the book
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
Event Hosts
The Midnight Mug, which co-sponsors Lattes and Lit with the Library, also supplies pastries!
This meeting is also co-sponsored by the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP).
Lattes and Lit book club meetings are a wonderful opportunity to not only discuss books but also to socialize, network, and share diverse perspectives with people across academic departments, roles, and generations in a no-pressure environment.
