#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON—NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!

A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade

“I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end!”—Reese Witherspoon

“Painfully beautiful.”—The New York Times Book Review

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens.

Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Narrator Cassandra Campbell serves up a bushel of Carolina accents in this debut novel by nature writer Delia Owens. Campbell's accents give the mix of classes and regions in the story the same realistic detail Owens provides for the marsh.... Prepare to be enchanted and haunted." (AudioFile)

"A lush debut; Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose." (Alexandra Fuller, author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight)

“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.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Steeped in the rhythms and shadows of the coastal marshes of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, this fierce and hauntingly beautiful novel centers on.... Kya’s heartbreaking story of learning to trust human connections, intertwine[d] with a gripping murder mystery, revealing savage truths. An astonishing debut.” (People)

Favourite book of 2019!

This book was beautifully written and produced. I loved every word. It's the type of book you start to slow down on because you don't want it to end.

Loved this especially the last few chapters

First of all I have to commend the narrator who was absolutely fabulous. She really brought you deep into the story. In the last couple of hours my head was spinning in circles - in a good way. I was so consumed by this book I sat in the car in my driveway for 35 minutes because I had to finish it. So so good and the ending!!!!

one of the best books of 2018 from this corner

From the marsh where Kya Clark lived in a shack in the 40s with abusive dad and helpless mom and siblings to a girl left to femd for herself as an outcast in her Carolina town. heavily descriptive but in a good way with a tender and heart wrenching story

draws you in and doesn't let go!

I couldn't put this book down, a beautiful, heartbreaking story with so much meaning. The narration was perfectly performed and character development was spot on. Not since I read to Kill a Mockingbird, did an author describe the south in such a way you feel you are there with the characters.

Greatest Narration

The Reader does a great job narrating, she really helps paint a picture of everything going on in the story. Maybe one of the best narrations I've heard for a book so far.
