“I can’t even express how much I love this book! I didn’t want this story to end!” (Reese Witherspoon)

“Painfully beautiful.” (The New York Times Book Review)

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life – until the unthinkable happens.

Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Mini-Review~ 4.5 STARS I finally got around to reading this uber popular book from last year. I really wasn’t sure if this would be for me, but I ended up loving it, regardless of a few things that distracted me and parts I thought were highly improbable. Although there is a LOT going on in this one, I found it easy to follow. I was very emotionally invested in Kya’s story and had a few theories about what would become of her ~ All were wrong! Loved the blend of mystery, murder, wilderness, nature, and the last twist- Never saw it coming!

This is an amazing first novel by this author! In the marsh land, near the North Carolina coast, the youngest child of a big, poor family is first left by her mother, her brother and later her father…she is such a little girl and left to fend for herself…. so heartbreaking! This story lets us follow her entire life, a life that is mostly very lonely. Part coming of age story, part love story, part mystery…these characters will really pull you in! I just loved it!! Thank you to Netgalley and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for the digital copy! Karen                                                                                                   rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
