An outstanding book that could be this years A Little Life Guardian
You think youre invincible. You think you wont ever miss. We need to put the fear on you. You need to surrender yourself to death before you ever begin, and accept your life as a state of grace, and then and only then will you be good enough.
At 14, Turtle Alveston knows the use of every gun on her wall;
That chaos is coming and only the strong will survive it;
That her daddy loves her more than anything else in this world.
And hell do whatever it takes to keep her with him.
She doesnt 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;
Why making a friend may be the bravest and most terrifying thing she has ever done
And what her daddy will do when he finds out
Sometimes strength is not the same as courage.
Sometimes leaving is not the only way to escape.
Sometimes surviving isn't enough.
This book has challenged me like no other. Its a masterpiece. A work of art on a page. I guarantee this book will take your breath away Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep
Brutal yet beautiful, My Absolute Darling has floored me. Dear Turtle, a heroine amidst the horror. Exceptional, unflinching storytelling Ali Land, author of Good Me Bad Me
An incandescent novel with an extraordinary, unforgettable heroine, both deeply contemplative and utterly thrilling Observer Thriller of the month
There are echoes of Mas bravery in Emma Donoghues Room, or the resilience of Cormac McCarthys protagonists as they struggle to stay alive. Tallents world is shocking in the truest sense of the word Irish Times
An utterly fantastic read. Every page is brimming with energy. And Turtle Alveston is as enthralling a character as Ive encountered in a good long while Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds
