I wanted to share a new book Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens (Author) known as a worldwide sensation that I received a copy of in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.
In the book is loss love and a twist as the end that is going to keep us all on our toes and once the last page has been finished reading we will be wanting the Author to give us a second and even third part to the book. I wish I had thought of having Charlie read Where The Crawdads Sing in his Homeschool Language Arts Class when we was #Homeschooling full time.
I enjoyed how the Author shared the North Carolina marshes and its wildlife with us and I can’t wait to see how it’s portrayed in the movie of the same name. I also want to compare the book to the movie. Would you like to join my family for #Movienight. I will even provide the Popcorn and snacks.
About the book:
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE—The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 18 million copies sold, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature.”
For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens.
Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
