Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing is a hauntingly beautiful blend of mystery and coming-of-age story set in the marshlands of North Carolina. Abandoned as a child, Kya Clark grows up isolated in nature, earning the nickname "Marsh Girl." Despite her solitude, she becomes a keen observer of the world around her, finding solace in the beauty of the marsh. When a local man is found dead, Kya becomes the prime suspect, and her secrets begin to unravel. A tale of resilience, love, and the profound connection between humanity and nature, this novel is sure to spark lively book club discussions.
