'Painfully beautiful.'--The New York Times Book Review
'Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver.'--Bustle
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.
Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, 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.

It was ok. Some parts were really beautiful to read about nature. The story itself, I was not impressed with.

This book deserves every accolade it has received and then some. I believe this book was enhanced by the Significant talent of the narrator! I would not have enjoyed reading it in print nearly as much as hearing it performed by this skilled reader. Truly a remarkable experience.

This Audiobook and the narration are absolutely wonderful! I felt like I was on the North Carolina marshland watching the highly descriptive screens unfold. Very moving. I loved it so much I’ll listen to it again.

This is the first time I was drawn to commenting on an audiobook. The story was very well written and extremely entertaining. I thought the narrator was wonderful too. I have already recommended this book to others. I am sure I will listen to it again.

Beautifully written, but the story is really slow. I don't like the narrator voice, took me a while to get used too.

A poignant powerful book. I listen while I commute I have teared up for this girl, laughed and clapped for her, and cried for her. Her observant solitude is both breathtaking and heartbreaking. Such a tender soul who lived such a hard life. She is the delicate lacy spiderweb of humankind - strong enough to withstand harshness and essential survival, yet beautifully graceful in her existence. And she rises so far above those who disparage her. It’s also a social statement of a community’s penchant for ostracizing and ignoring the less fortunate among us.

This is a fantastic, gripping story. I found narrator’s voice as a child and young adult quite annoying. Not enough to stop listening though !

I couldn't put the book down. It's been a long time since I've been captivated by a story and felt comfortable with the writing style. I learned so much and shed a tear of the end. a great read.
