#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON--NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE! More than 18 million copies sold worldwide A Reese's Book Club Pick A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade "I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end!"--Reese Witherspoon " Painfully beautiful. "-- The New York Times Book Review 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.

Praise for Where the Crawdads Sing "A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature....Owens here surveys the desolate marshlands of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And in her isolation that child makes us open our own eyes to the secret wonders--and dangers--of her private world."-- The New York Times Book Review "This lush mystery is perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver."-- Bustle "A lush debut novel, Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose. It's clear she's from this place--the land of the southern coasts, but also the emotional terrain--you can feel it in the pages. A magnificent achievement, ambitious, credible and very timely."--Alexandra Fuller, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight "Reminiscent of Barbara Kingsolver, this Southern-set period novel unfurls a whodunit against a typical coming-of-age tale, when a mysterious "Marsh Girl" becomes the primary suspect of a grisly crime."-- Entertainment Weekly "Delia Owen's gorgeous novel is both a coming-of-age tale and an engrossing whodunit."-- Real Simple "Evocative...Kya makes for an unforgettable heroine."-- Publishers Weekly "Slow down and let this lush nature-focused story unspool....A mystery will pull you along, but stay awhile in the descriptions of shifting tides, shell collections, and the mottled light of coastal Carolina."-- Garden & Gun "A nature-infused romance with a killer twist."-- Refinery29 "Lyrical...Its appeal ris[es] from Kya's deep connection to the place where makes her home, and to all of its creatures."-- Booklist "With prose luminous as a low-country moon, Owens weaves a compelling tale of a forgotten girl in the unforgiving coastal marshes of North Carolina. It is a murder mystery/love story/courtroom drama that readers will love, but the novel delves so much deeper into the bone and sinew of our very nature, asking often unanswerable questions, old and intractable as the marsh itself. A stunning debut!" -- Christopher Scotton, author of The Secret Wisdom of the Earth " Where The Crawdads Sing carries the rhythm of an old time ballad. It is clear Owens knows this land intimately, from the black mud sucking at footsteps to the taste of saltwater and the cry of seagulls." -- David Joy, author of The Line That Held Us, "A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature....Owens here surveys the desolate marshlands of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And in her isolation that child makes us open our own eyes to the secret wonders--and dangers--of her private world."-- The New York Times Book Review "Steeped in the rhythms and shadows of the coastal marshes of North Carolina's Outer Banks, this fierce and hauntingly beautiful novel centers on...Kya's heartbreaking story of learning to trust human connections, intertwine[d] with a gripping murder mystery, revealing savage truths. An astonishing debut."-- People "This lush mystery is perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver."-- Bustle "A lush debut novel, Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose.

A stunning debut!" -- Christopher Scotton, author of The Secret Wisdom of the Earth "A compelling mystery with prose so luminous it can cut through the murkiest of pluff mud."-- Augusta Chronicle "Carries the rhythm of an old time ballad.

Very satisfied! Reliable seller with fair prices. One ordered item turned out to be sold during the process, but was promptly refunded. Other ordered items arrived eralier than estimated. They were neatly packed and in the condition described. Contact with seller prior to the order wasn't possible, but communication afterwards was spotless.
