A quatorze ans,Turtle Alveston arpente les bois de la côte nord de la Californie avec un fusil et un pistolet pour seuls compagnons.
Elle trouve refuge sur les plages et les îlots rocheux qu'elle parcourt sur des kilomètres. Mais si le monde extérieur s'ouvre à elle dans toute son immensité, son univers familial est étroit et menaçant :Turtle à grandi seule,sous la coupe d'un père charismatique et abusif.
Sa vie sociale est confinée au collège, et elle repousse quiconque essaye de percer sa carapace.
Jusqu'au jour où elle rencontre Jacob,un lycéen blagueur qu'elle intrigue et fascine à la fois. Poussée par cette amitié naissante,Turtle décide alors d'échapper à son père et plonge dans une aventure sans retour où elle mettra en jeu sa liberté et sa survie.
My Absolute Darling à été le livre phénomène de l'année 2017 aux Etats-Unis.
Ce roman inoubliable sur le combat d'une jeune fille pour devenir elle-même et sauver son âme marque la naissance d'un nouvel auteur au talent prodigieux.
Traduit de l'américain par Laura Derajinski.
Le terme de "chef-d'oeuvre" est bien trop galvaudé, mais il ne fait aucun doute que My Absolute Darling en est un.
