She made me fall in love with an environment I’ve never set foot in. Her passion for nature and her expertise as a nature writer, is evident. I could clearly see everything in my mind and I absolutely loved all facts related to insects and animals. The Author's knowledge of nature really came out and it was so informative.
Kya on the other hand is so relatable. I’ve never come across any other literary work that so literally and perfectly describes human loneliness through nature and sound... this book will make you feel it with her. Her story is so well written that you can't help but hurt for her, root for her, cheer her on and wish to protect her from the prejudices she endures. Her observations and journey within the marsh are so intriguing to read.
However there was some places in the book that felt a bit slow. Plus the surprise ending seemed way too abrupt- as though the author got tired of writing and just wanted to get the book over with.
Nonetheless, the book is well deserving of all the hype it has gathered. Read it.
