"A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative, and a celebration of nature" (The New York Times Book Review) is the #1 New York Times bestselling international phenomenon, having sold over 12 million copies.
Barkley Cove is a sleepy coastal village in North Carolina that has been plagued by tales of the "Marsh Girl" for many years. Thus, when the attractive Chase Andrews is discovered murdered in late 1969, the people in the area instantly suspect Kya Clark, the self-dubbed Marsh Girl. But Kya isn't who they claim to be. Sensitive and perceptive, she has learned lessons from the sand and made friends with birds while living alone for years in the marsh that she calls home. Then comes the moment when she cries out to be caressed and appreciated. Kya lets herself into a new life when two local young men are drawn to her wild beauty—until the unimaginable occurs.
Where the Crawdads Sing is a startling narrative of potential murder, a painful coming-of-age tale, and a gorgeous hymn to the natural world all at once. Delia Owens serves as a reminder that our personalities are influenced by our past selves and that nature has both terrible and beautiful mysteries.
