plsheppard 's review for:
Where the Crawdads Sing
by Delia Owens
Delia Owens first novel, “Where the Crawdads Sing” is one of the most moving stories I’ve read in a long time. Whether it is in the personal story of Kya or the deep look into a part of nature that is not as well known as many other areas of study, it is enthralling and arouses your curiosity at the same time.
The pathos of young Kya’s story and the ongoing issues she experiences touch our deepest emotions and always leaves you anticipating what is coming next and feeling deeply close to this young girl/woman.
The interweaving of the story between the past and present, intertwining two separate time frames into one kept my interest so keenly I hardly could stop reading.
I thought the entire story was excellent and led me deeply into the two main characters of Tate and Kya and especially as a lover of the natural world, I was enthralled by the study of the marsh and it’s detail and amount of information woven into the story line.
Our natural world is a precious commodity that sustains us as a species and we imperil our own survival by ignoring the interconnections and our destructive tendencies that Ms. Owens demonstrates so well in this book. It is a truly worthwhile read on many levels!
