Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Where the Crawdads Sing is a beautiful book. A murder mystery, a love story and a story of searching for love, a coming-of-age tale, a story about class and abuse and survival, made all the richer and layered by the author's experience as a naturalist and a nature writer.
"For years, rumors of the 'Marsh Girl' have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast," When the town's golden boy,"Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl" (book jacket). But she is not "marsh trash." She is a survivor of abuse of the wreckage of her parents' doomed marriage, and years of isolation. When two young men become "intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens"(book jacket).
Highly recommended.
