I had to read this book to see if it was worth all the hype. This book is a Reese Witherspoon book club pick. I believe she is making this into a movie in the near future. Everything Reese touches seems to turn to gold, so rather than wait for the book at the library, I did purchase it off Amazon. I believe it was a good buy. This is a great book! I believe it lived up to the hype. Where the Crawdads Sing is about a young girl named Kya Clark who is abandoned by her family and is left to fend for herself in the marshland of Barkley Cove, North Carolina. During the 1950s and 1960s, young Kya grows into a young women who discovers how to fish and cook and make money by selling fish. She manages to use her father's boat and live in the same family house. The book does have a Girl on The Train feel when the author jumps years to a tragedy that happens in the swamp. This book was slow in the beginning, but then I could not put it down.
