My Absolute Darling

by Gabriel Tallent

'My Absolute Darling' follows the gripping journey of Turtle Alveston, a 14-year-old girl who navigates a life of isolation under the oppressive control of her father, Martin. Haunting the wild Northern California coast, she finds solace in her surroundings. With a mother's absence and a life limited to school and her father's house, Turtle is resigned to a small, treacherous existence. A glimmer of hope shines through when she meets Jacob, a high school boy whose interest ignites in her the possibility of liberation. Encouraged by newfound friendship and affection, Turtle contemplates escape, armed with the survival tactics ingrained by her father. Her path to deliverance is fraught with danger, yet her bravery kindles a tale of defiance and resilience. As Turtle confronts her demons, both external and internal, she embarks on a heart-wrenching quest for freedom and healing, proving to be an unforgettable heroine.
