“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.

Editorial Review

Where the Crawdads Sing is an award-winning fiction that combines lush nature prose, romance, murder mystery, and a coming-of-age survival story in one. Kya, who lives alone in a shack in the marshlands of North Carolina, is forced to face a murder trial after warming up to two young men from the nearby town.

Where the Crawdads Sing reminds us that the child we have inside us is shaping us forever. The story addresses how isolation influences the behaviour of a young woman who wants to be loved like all of us. Winner of four Audie Awards and nominee for a dozen more, narrator Cassandra Campbell brings a sense of tranquillity to the story with her soothing voice. Campbell is also an actress, director, teacher, and an accomplished voice-over artist.

American writer and zoologist Delia Owens is a New York Times best-selling nature writer. She has lived more than 20 years in Africa and has published three nonfiction titles about animals and wildlife—Cry of the Kalahari, The Eye of the Elephant, and Secrets of the Savanna. The latter is available in audio format. Where the Crawdads Sing is Owens’ first fiction release.

This audiobook release is an international phenomenon, with more than seven million copies sold worldwide.

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.

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!!!!

Loved this especially the last few chapters
