My Absolute Darling

Fiction by Gabriel Tallent.


This story was both beautiful and terrible. It's like a cross between Gather the Daughters and Where the Crawdads Sing, both of which I read recently. It takes the nature girl from "Crawdads" and subjects her to horrible abuse featured in the misogynistic dystopian society of "Daughters."

It was fascinating to read, but terribly graphic. Still it's not without hope for the main character.
