Description: A beautifully written novel that combines mystery with regional history.
From the book jacket: “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.
Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads
Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking
coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us
that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all
subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.”
