Patricia Barry asked this question about Educated:

This book is disgusting to me. I do not understand why an educated and worldly individual would have difficulty understanding the horrible and violent upbringing that she experienced. It is unbelievable to me that she could not understand the violent situation, yet uneducated upbringing she endured. I have completely misunderstood her manner of education in a life in our country, in this country, how is this possible?

Lets just celebrate how she managed to survive. Yes this happens, in every country including yours. Please open your eyes. Poverty, fear, false religion, no educations exists. What courage to write about it and you disparage her. For shame.(less)
