Delia Owens: Where the Crawfish Sing

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. And when the body of Chase, a local playboy, is found in late 1969, the townspeople immediately suspect Kya Clark, a girl who has lived as a recluse in the marshes since early childhood. Sensitive and intelligent, Kya truly calls the marsh her home, and its birds, fish, and animals her friends. But when the time comes to grow up, Kya discovers an entirely different side of life; a desire to love and be loved awakens within her. And Kya happily plunges into this unknown new world—until the unthinkable happens. The novel by renowned biologist Delia Owens is a true ode to nature, a tender coming-of-age story, a novel about loneliness, human connection, and whether people even need each other at all, while simultaneously being a dark, mysterious tale of a murder that may or may not have happened.
