My Absolute Darling   Gabriel Tallent
Beautifully written, deeply disturbing novel about the incestuous relationship between Julia “Turtle” Alveston and her monster of a father who abuses her sexually and emotionally. Extraordinary details about the physical world and her inner life. Outstanding portrayal of her personality that completely justifies the narrative development, and very-well written characters, good and bad, most often in authentic dialogue. Very good, but hard to read emotionally.
