I think this book, Where the Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens, is a very worthwhile read for everyone. The character of Kya is unforgettable, truly one for the ages
as is the painful at times but always engaging story
of her life in her home in the southern marches of North Carolina's Outer Banks.

This book will make you feel.

It's a modern classic of Southern literature and beautifully blends a coming-of-age story with a murder mystery. It also incorporates detailed descriptions of nature along the North Carolina coastal marshlands and uses observations of wildlife as metaphors for what's going on in the story. A must-read, in my opinion!

A nature lover, I feel in love with Ms. Owens sensory descriptions of the marsh and the beautiful plants and animals that lived there. My heart could identify with Kya as a teenager falling in love.
A great romance, mystery, and science novel!
