Where the Crawdads Sing

Marsh. While I’ve noted that Delia Owens’ debut novel titled, Where the Crawdads Sing, has been on the best seller list for almost a year, I didn’t settle down to read it until a few days ago. Owens offers readers the full life of protagonist Kya Clark, who lived for six decades in the marsh on the coast of North Carolina. The setting is described with such care that most readers will visualize the place where Kya lives. For much of the plot, there’s a mystery to solve, and Owens fills the space around that core with pulling readers deeper into understand all the complexity of this interesting protagonist who battles for survival in a difficult environment.
