Where the Crawdads Sing 

by Delia Owens

 
Book Summary:

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens is about a girl who grows up isolated in a marshland.  Despite being shunned by her community, Kya is a resilient, deep thinking, and creative young woman who grapples with love, loneliness, and tragedy after tragedy.  This page-turning novel will keep you engaged until the last page.

You probably already heard of, or even read this book, as it was a #1 New York Times Bestseller and on the Los Angeles Times Bestseller list for many months.  On Amazon it has 4.8 out of 5 stars, based on 41,700 customer ratings.

 
 
A Sample of Praise on Amazon:
 The New York Times Book Review describes it as “A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature... Owens here surveys the desolate marshlands of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And in her isolation that child makes us open our own eyes to the secret wonders—and dangers—of her private world.”
