Tom Roberts asked this question about Where the Crawdads Sing:
Was anyone perplexed by the author’s placement of Asheville, far to the west of NC, within shopping distance of the coast? One family drives to Asheville to buy a bicycle and one man buys his colorful ties there. Yet, the drive to Asheville tales from 5 to 6 hours. This doesn’t detract from the story, but it is quite odd.
Heather Waldroup This is making me insane as well. The trips to Asheville make no sense, and as others note, the ecosystem being described is clearly coastal GA or SC …moreThis is making me insane as well. The trips to Asheville make no sense, and as others note, the ecosystem being described is clearly coastal GA or SC and not the Outer Banks. That plus sloppy editing overall (such as shifts in verb tense, from past to present and back again) have left me feeling like I'm reading something hastily written and self-published. It's an enjoyable beach read but I'm finding very little of substance.(less)
