Aharrowing, gripping memoir of abuse and psychopathy...Julien approaches the pastwith fearless contemplation, veracity, and vivid portrayals of the brutality inher early life., A harrowing yet achingly beautiful tale of a girl imprisoned by her brutal, fanatic family, but whose yearning for wonder and love ultimately drives her toward the improbable light of the world. . . The Only Girl in the World is a story of resilience unlike any I have ever read., Maude Julien has every reason to be a terrible human being...Had it not been for her love of animals, literature, and the intervention of an unlikely savior, Maude's tenuous grasp on sanity would very likely have been lost...It is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome extraordinary obstacles and proof that love, indeed, wins., One of the most original and compelling stories I've read. A tale of hope and profound courage, The Only Girl in the World illustrates how trusting ourselves and following our hearts can save us from the most oppressive and cruel conditions. Her brave spirit shines as a bright reminder that what lies within us is stronger and more powerful than our circumstances., In the hierarchy of traumatic memoir, Maude Julien has something to write home about...But it is also proof that love is in our nature regardless of our nurture., The year's most harrowing memoir...At times the book, in form, resembles the beginnings of Emma Donoghue's Room , but this text is necessarily more graphic and frightening...My multiple audible gasps while working through The Only Girl in the World were partly a result of its author's ability to so artfully capture the meaning and depth of her survival. You wonder how anyone who went through what she did could come out functioning on the other side...That The Only Girl in the World exists as it does is a most persuasive argument for Julien's remarkable willpower., The author of this harrowing memoir describes a childhood trappedin her family's grand house on the outskirts of a small French town in thenineteen-sixties...Now working as a therapist specializing in cases ofpsychological manipulation, she tells her story with the unflinching clarity ofsomeone who is no longer ruled by her trauma., The year's most harrowing memoir...That The Only Girl in the World exists as it does is a most persuasive argument for Julien's remarkable willpower., At oncefascinating, mystifying and distressing...The story takes on the energy of athriller, building on the reader's hectic desire for [Julien's] escape.|9781549114120|, This story is never maudlin-it is so absorbing that you have to remind yourself to breathe from time to time., In the hierarchy of traumatic memoir, Maude Julien has something to write home about. . . The Only Girl in the World is the haunting story of a girl whose survivalist parents locked her away and subjected her to 'training' starting at the age of three. But it is also proof that love is in our nature regardless of our nurture.

Synopsis
For readers of Room and The Glass Castle, a memoir to be read in one breathless sitting that will leave you astonished by the courage and creative power of even the most neglected soul. Maude Julien's parents were fanatics who believed it was their sacred duty to turn her into the ultimate survivor - raising her in isolation, tyrannizing her childhood and subjecting her to endless drills designed to "eliminate weakness." Maude learned to hold an electric fence for minutes without flinching, and to sit perfectly still in a rat-infested cellar all night long (her mother sewed bells onto her clothes that would give her away if she moved). She endured a life without heat, hot water, adequate food, friendship, or any kind of affectionate treatment.But Maude's parents could not rule her inner life. Befriending the animals on the lonely estate as well as the characters in the novels she read in secret, young Maude nurtured in herself the compassion and love that her parents forbid as weak. And when, after more than a decade, an outsider managed to penetrate her family's paranoid world, Maude seized her opportunity. By turns horrifying and magical, The Only Girl in the World is a story that will grip you from the first page and leave you spellbound, a chilling exploration of psychological control that ends with a glorious escape., For readers of Room and The Glass Castle , an astonishing memoir of one woman's rise above an unimaginable childhood.
