Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
5.0
A who-dunnit, coming of age story that teaches you about life, independence, and the need for human connection.
I absolutely loved how Delia Owens wrote this. The descriptive writing, you can literally picture every scene so vividly and clearly; she paints with her writing. I LOVE how the dialect was conveyed in the writing. I felt like I was in North Carolina listening to the characters speak. Each character definitely had a distinct voice.
Kya had so many levels of development throughout her life and journey in the marsh. Learning about life, love, trust, compassion, nature, and the inverse of all of these. This was an emotional, heart-string-pulling story that I was INVESTED in the whole time. Your heart will be wrecked for Kya.
And the ending I did not even expect.
