I’ve seen photos of actress Carey Mulligan, the face of the film “An Education,” all over the place these past few months, so when Atlas & Co. asked if I wanted to check out the memoir that inspired the Oscar-nominated film I jumped at the chance. It’s the story of an Oxford “education” that takes place, as so many of the most important educations do, far from the classroom. Hope you’ll enjoy this taste of a classic coming-of-age story told in the sharply witty voice of award-winning journalist Lynn Barber.
