My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent
1.0

I really tried to read this book. I really tried. But paedophilia is just overwhelming. It is not even mentioned as past but the story in itself is based on paedophilia. And the blatant sexualization of a child's body is unacceptable in my opinion. I cannot get over the fact that the father himself is using his daughter as some object. Maybe it is me. But I am not reading this book again ever.
