Where the Crawdads Sing

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

This is one of the most gorgeous books you will ever read. It is a richly described coming of age story steeped in the marshland of North Carolina – a wild and isolated spot teeming with wildlife, including the eponymous crawdads. There is a mystery inextricably linked with Kya, the child of nature at the heart of the story, who is as deep and complex as the land she loves. Her story is heartrending, touching and so memorable it will stay with you long after the crawdads are silent.
