Real adventure! Indeed, we can say without a moment's hesitation that Gabriel Tallent's novel packs a punch. My Absolute Darling tells the story of Turtle Alveston. She is fourteen years old and lives alone with her father in North Carolina. She doesn't much like school, and has trouble socializing with anyone but her father and grandfather. In fact, Turtle is a bit of a wild child, according to her father. And he's proud of it. He's taught his little girl to live in the wild, to be physically tough to the limit, to be independent in any situation, to handle weapons, to hunt, to fish - in short, to live life the hard way.
