Review
`There are books we like well enough to recommend, but there are a very few - To Kill a Mockingbird, Catch-22, The Things They Carried - that we remember forever. To my own shortlist I can now add My Absolute Darling, by Gabriel Tallent ... The word "masterpiece" has been cheapened by too many blurbs, but My Absolute Darling absolutely is one' Stephen King `If you liked Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life, you'll love this' Daily Mail `A powerful tale with a howitzer of a heroine and a plethora of extraordinary scenes' TLS `A heartrending debut that will shock, then shake, then inspire you' Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You `An outstanding book that could be this year's A Little Life' Guardian `My Absolute Darling is an absolute triumph' National `The writing is beautiful and vivid, while the story is brilliantly urgent, brutal and uncompromising' Claire Fuller, author of Our Endless Numbered Days `Tallent's breathtaking debut is a harrowing and at times psychologically difficult journey on the scale of A Little Life or The Goldfinch, but it's worth it . . . a true inspiration' Harper's Bazaar `Once a year - certainly no more - along comes a special novel that turns its readers into literary holy rollers. A couple of years ago it was Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life. Before that Ferrante fever. This year, I suspect it will be My Absolute Darling' The Times `This is a compelling and unsettling novel that sucks you into its darkly warped world and doesn't let go until the last page ... powerful, violent, savage and quite brilliant' Daily Express `A gut wrenching, terrifying novel written so beautifully it sings off the page' Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat `This is a bloody, brutal tale, but also an incredibly beautiful one' Emerald Street

A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR A METRO BOOK OF THE YEAR The years must read novel The Times One of the most important books youll pick up this decade Harpers Bazaar An outstanding book that could be this years A Little Life Guardian 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 hell do whatever it takes to keep her with him. But 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. Or why making a friend may be the bravest and most terrifying thing she has ever done. Sometimes the people youre supposed to trust are the ones who do most harm. And what youve been taught to fear is the very thing that will save you 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
