About the Book:
A recommendation by HEATHER
My Absolute Darling is a dark, acclaimed debut novel by Gabriel Tallent about a teenage girl named Julia "Turtle" Alveston, who lives in isolation in the woods with her charismatic but abusive, sociopathic father, Martin. The story follows Turtle as she navigates her traumatic life, her father's psychological and sexual abuse, and her burgeoning relationship with a boy who offers a glimpse of escape, leading to a tense and thrilling fight for her survival. Praised for its beautiful prose and unforgettable heroine, it's a challenging but gripping read about abuse, resilience, and survival.
