Where the Crawdads Sing
Kya Clark, known as the “Marsh Girl,” lives a wild and solitary life in Barkley Cove, shunned by locals who suspect her of a murder in 1969. A naturalist self-taught by the marshes, Kya finds solace and lessons in nature’s beauty and secrets. Despite her isolation, she craves human connection, drawn to two young men from town. Delving into themes of loneliness and belonging, Owens weaves a poignant tale that explores the complexities of human nature against the backdrop of the untamed marshlands.
