Praise For This Book |
"With its unconventional heroine and unflinching portrayal of an abused girl's fight to save herself, My Absolute Darling seems poised to become the breakout debut of the year." -The New York Times "My Absolute Darling is Gabriel Tallent's first novel, and no less than Stephen King has called it a "masterpiece" to rank with To Kill A Mockingbird and Catch-22." -NPR "Our generation's next beloved literary heroine....this is one of the most important books you'll pick up this decade." -Harper's Bazaar "My Absolute Darling is a novel that readers will gulp down, gasping...Tallent [is a] prodigiously talented new writer." -The Washington Post "A gripping introduction to a seriously brave little girl... My Absolute Darling is an affecting read but also an important one." -USA Today "Impressively, this is...a novel of great beauty, filled with lush evocations of the woods." -Wall Street Journal "A searing story of abuse and damaged people, but also about resilience, strength and survival. Much recommended." -Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times "A gripping read, written in beautiful, brutal prose ... My Absolute Darling is a Great American Novel for the increasingly isolationist, fractionalised and disenchanted contemporary era." -Financial Times |
