Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

5.0

This book was a touching meditation on the beauty of nature and the often ugly way that people treat each other. Kya’s loneliness is a very tangible thing, her forays into the marshes to bond with the animals and draw what she sees in detail an all-too-relatable coping mechanism and distraction from her abandonment. I’ve heard some readers had trouble staying interested into the last act of the book, but I honestly can’t understand why, because I was riveted.
