Chronicle Toward Books My Absolute Darling

At 14, Turtle Alveston knows the use of every gun on her wall. She knows how to snare a rabbit, sharpen a blade and splint a bone. She knows that her daddy loves her more than anything else in this world and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her with him.

But she doesn’t know why she feels so different from the other girls at school; why the line between love and pain can be so hard to see. Or why making a friend may be the bravest and most terrifying thing she has ever done.

Sometimes the people you’re supposed to trust are the ones who do most harm. And what you’ve been taught to fear is the very thing that will save you…

Judge About Books My Absolute Darling

Bam! All the freaking stars!!! Why do we read? I'm serious? Why? Because books like these exist! "My Absolute Darling" in my humble opinion is a modern masterpiece! An absolute, all consuming, beautifully written work of art! I loved it so much!I'm completely exhausted. This book was all consuming. I wanted to save Turtle from her monster father all throughout this book. I wanted her to run and get help when she could have. Most of this novel is dark and disturbing but there are glimmers of joy,

Yikes. I tried to read this book twice and just couldnt. The first part I did read, I agreed with Roxanne. Thank you for saving me from wasting hours

There's been much written about this book already, and I don't wish to tread well-worn ground. Let me just say that I found it to be an incredibly compelling portrait of survival and coming-of-age: of a girl who is a survivor in the only way she knows how--by hunkering down in her shell (her nickname is Turtle, after all)--until at last she recognizes what she's been experiencing as the abuse it always was. It's also a book that eschews easy stereotypes. Turtle's abusive father, Martin, is an

Warning: extreme and disturbing material!This is a psychologically chilling, dark and disturbing novel set in remote Mendocino, California, charting the dysfunctional, an understatement, relationship between 14 year old Turtle (Julia) and her end of the world believer, armed to the teeth, survivalist father, Martin, who has stockpiled dried food that will last 3 years. This book has echoes of Helena and Jacob Holbrook's relationship in The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne, although in

Hard as I tried I just couldnt love this book. Heavy on content and heavy on descriptions made this book well....heavy. Its dark, gritty, grim and depressingly disturbing. Such as most of the content of the book the writing felt murky. It was well written it cant be disputed. But I felt almost angry at the author for putting me through so much turmoil and trauma with barely any relief. I guess this was the power of this book but I struggled to want to read it. I can already see that this book is

Many reviewers praise this debut novel by Gabriel Tallent, citing the lyrical prose and powerful coming-of-age story. Other reviewers skewer the book for its graphic scenes of rape, violence, and psychological torture. I'm in the latter camp.The book relates an intense tale of an adolescent girl finding her voice - and guts - in very difficult circumstances. This is an admirable theme. To me though, the book is disturbing and - in some places - quite horrific. *****Julia Alveston, called Turtle,

Disturbing, Riveting, and Impossible To Put DownEasiest five stars I've given all year.This book will take your breath away.Turtle and her father live on the Northern California Coast. They have a close relationship.. perhaps too close. As Turtle grows and matures she suddenly realizes that the walls are closing in around her and she senses a rising urgency for freedom. However, will her father ever allow that?Gabriel Tallent is an absolute TALENT (every pun intended). His writing is flawless
