For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the coast of North Carolina. So, at the end of 1969, when the 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 swamp she calls home, finding friends in the seagulls and lessons in the sand. Then comes the moment when she longs to be touched and loved. When two young men in the city are intrigued by her rugged beauty, Kya opens up to new life - until the unthinkable happens.
Where the Crawdads Sing is both an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story, and a startling story 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.
