Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens -384 pages
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.
I enjoyed this book. I was not sure what to expect when I checked it out to read. I can see why it has been on the NY Times bestsellers list for so long.
How did you like this book? I've been thinking about reading it since almost everyone else seems to have already done so!
