#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON--NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! More than 18 million copies sold worldwide A Reese's Book Club Pick 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.

Reviews
Praise for Where the Crawdads Sing "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 "This lush mystery is perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver."-- Bustle "A lush debut novel, Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose. It's clear she's from this place--the land of the southern coasts, but also the emotional terrain--you can feel it in the pages. A magnificent achievement, ambitious, credible and very timely."--Alexandra Fuller, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight "Reminiscent of Barbara Kingsolver, this Southern-set period novel unfurls a whodunit against a typical coming-of-age tale, when a mysterious "Marsh Girl" becomes the primary suspect of a grisly crime."-- Entertainment Weekly "Delia Owen's gorgeous novel is both a coming-of-age tale and an engrossing whodunit."-- Real Simple "Evocative...Kya makes for an unforgettable heroine."-- Publishers Weekly "Slow down and let this lush nature-focused story unspool....A mystery will pull you along, but stay awhile in the descriptions of shifting tides, shell collections, and the mottled light of coastal Carolina."-- Garden & Gun "A nature-infused romance with a killer twist."-- Refinery29 "Lyrical...Its appeal ris[es] from Kya's deep connection to the place where makes her home, and to all of its creatures."-- Booklist "With prose luminous as a low-country moon, Owens weaves a compelling tale of a forgotten girl in the unforgiving coastal marshes of North Carolina. It is a murder mystery/love story/courtroom drama that readers will love, but the novel delves so much deeper into the bone and sinew of our very nature, asking often unanswerable questions, old and intractable as the marsh itself. A stunning debut!" -- Christopher Scotton, author of The Secret Wisdom of the Earth " Where The Crawdads Sing carries the rhythm of an old time ballad. It is clear Owens knows this land intimately, from the black mud sucking at footsteps to the taste of saltwater and the cry of seagulls." -- David Joy, author of The Line That Held Us, "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 "This lush mystery is perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver."-- Bustle "A lush debut novel, Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose. It's clear she's from this place--the land of the southern coasts, but also the emotional terrain--you can feel it in the pages. A magnificent achievement, ambitious, credible and very timely."--Alexandra Fuller, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight "Heart-wrenching...A fresh exploration of isolation and nature from a female perspective along with a compelling love story."-- Entertainment Weekly "Delia Owen's gorgeous novel is both a coming-of-age tale and an engrossing whodunit."-- Real Simple "Evocative...Kya makes for an unforgettable heroine."-- Publishers Weekly "The New Southern novel...A lyrical debut." -- Southern Living "A nature-infused romance with a killer twist."-- Refinery29 "Both a coming-of-age story and a mysterious account of a murder investigation told from the perspective of a young girl...Through Kya's story, Owens explores how isolation affects human behavior, and the deep effect that rejection can have on our lives."-- Vanity Fair "Lyrical...Its appeal ris[es] from Kya's deep connection to the place where makes her home, and to all of its creatures."-- Booklist "This beautiful, evocative novel is likely to stay with you for many days afterward....absorbing." -- AARP "Compelling, original...A mystery, a courtroom drama, a romance and a coming-of-age story, Where the Crawdads Sing is a moving, beautiful tale. Readers will remember Kya for a long, long time." -- ShelfAwareness "With prose luminous as a low-country moon, Owens weaves a compelling tale of a forgotten girl in the unforgiving coastal marshes of North Carolina. It is a murder mystery/love story/courtroom drama that readers will love, but the novel delves so much deeper into the bone and sinew of our very nature, asking often unanswerable questions, old and intractable as the marsh itself. A stunning debut!" -- Christopher Scotton, author of The Secret Wisdom of the Earth "A compelling mystery with prose so luminous it can cut through the murkiest of pluff mud."-- Augusta Chronicle "Carries the rhythm of an old time ballad.

  • I think the title is very appropriate for the story.

    Against all odds Kya survives. She proves herself to be a sensitive, intelligent, talented, artistic person despite what the town people think. And in the end she frees herself from the hurt and rejection from these people. I felt sorry for her as I read the story.....with the abuse and rejection, but yet felt proud of her strength to survive. Just to read of her deep love for the nature of the area was soothing. (By the way, I am from North Carolina....foothills of the mountains....between Asheville and Charlotte and I have visited the coast of NC!) It was fun to read a story written about my state.

  • Nature + Mystery + Coming of Age = Great Book

    Probably among the top five books I have read in the past five years. Engaging characters, original plot and setting, wonderfully written. Could not put it down, then handed it over to my husband, who loved it just as much (and we typically read different genres).

  • You will be transported to days of the old south.

    I'm a big fan of stories which are set in the 'old south'. So far, I've been captivated by the details describing the swamp, the shack and the cast of characters. I feel as if the author has transported me to the treetops and i'm observing the story as it unfolds.

  • Great title for this book !

    This is one of the best books I have read in some time ! The author has done a lot of research on the Eco system in the story. She has also created very believable characters. The ending was an unforeseen surprise. I bought a second copy for my granddaughter because I know this will become one of her favorite books. I hope it is not long before there is a new Delia Owens book available !

  • Story of grit, tenacity and victory while overcoming the impossible odds.

    Beautifully written, the author transports the reader into a most unusual setting. Right from the beginning one is as a fly on the wall absorbing the fear and horror of our heroine. I wanted to get my mother bear on, strap on a weapon and do a little damage on her behalf. But alas, she didn’t need any help which ultimately is the beauty of the story of survival as a child and as a woman. I loved this book from the beginning and even more at the end. Everything else in between is gloriously captivating.
