For years, rumors of the ‘Marsh Girl’ have haunted Barkley Cove, a peaceful town within the NEW YORK coast. Therefore in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, about Where in fact the Crawdads Sing the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Gal. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she’s survived for years only in the marsh that she phone calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and treasured. When two teenagers from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life–until the unthinkable happens.

Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where in fact the Crawdads Sing reaches once a perfect ode towards the normal world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age tale, and a astonishing tale of feasible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever formed by the kids we were in the past, and that people are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that character keeps.
