If you can take the details of abuse and endure to the end, be prepared for a Deus ex Machina conclusion that eliminated any positive points I may have wanted to give to a new author showing real talent.Synopsis: Manga Synopsis - Riiko is a girl unlucky in love. With such extensive and prolonged abuse, I found myself wondering, where are the responsible adults in this story where are the red flags and the charging bulls they should be attracting? Without more of a psychological foundation, the story slipped into sensationalism. Sadly, I didn't find the story itself compelling enough to justify the sickening feeling it gave me - and I'm nowhere near a shrinking violet when it comes to the subject. The girl continuously refers to herself (and everyone else) fondly as a *C* word. But, aside from any leanings toward the poetical.the book is loaded with profanity.loaded.
I can't blame anyone for suggesting a book they thought was great.I have to admit Tallent shows promise as a writer far better than most of the debut authors all the more confusing. The psychological manipulations by the father are horrendous, teetering between equally repulsive strategies of treating the girl as a willing lover and as a little girl he wants to protect from a world he believes is coming to an apocalyptic end, interspersed with beatings. The mother has passed away, possibly intentionally - you'll come to wonder. Very profound abuse of a young girl by an eccentric father. After spending years in a profession where I had to read patient bio's similar to this story, I might have just drifted into it out of habit or maybe it was my other habit of reading what the Editors and Critics list as the *Best Of* books. What on earth possessed me to read this I'll never know.
Shot through with striking language in a fierce natural setting, My Absolute Darling is an urgently told, profoundly moving book that marks the debut of an extraordinary new writer. The listener tracks Turtle's escalating acts of physical and emotional courage and watches, heart in throat, as she struggles to become her own hero - and, in the process, becomes ours as well. Motivated by her first experience with real friendship and a teenage crush, Turtle starts to imagine escape, using the very survival skills her father devoted himself to teaching her. And for the first time, the larger world begins to come into focus: Her life with Martin is neither safe nor sustainable. Then Turtle meets Jacob, a high-school boy who tells jokes, lives in a big clean house, and looks at Turtle as if she is the sunrise. Her social existence is confined to the middle school (where she fends off the interest of anyone, student or teacher, who might penetrate her shell) and to her life with her father. Turtle has grown up isolated since the death of her mother, in the thrall of her tortured and charismatic father, Martin. But while her physical world is expansive, her personal one is small and treacherous. The creeks, tide pools, and rocky islands are her haunts and her hiding grounds, and she is known to wander for miles. At 14, she roams the woods along the Northern California coast. A brilliant and immersive, all-consuming audiobook about one 14-year-old girl's heart-stopping fight for her own soul.
