In 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens, the quiet town of Barkley Cove has long been haunted by rumors of the mysterious 'Marsh Girl.' When a handsome man named Chase Andrews is found dead in 1969, locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the Marsh Girl. However, Kya is not what they believe. She is a sensitive and intelligent woman who has lived alone in the marsh, finding solace in nature. When two young men from town take an interest in her, she opens herself to a new life, until tragedy strikes.
This novel is a beautifully crafted tribute to the natural world, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age tale, and a surprising exploration of a possible murder. Delia Owens reminds us of the lasting impact of our childhoods and the secrets that nature conceals, both beautiful and violent.
