#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON
More than 6 million copies sold worldwide
A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine 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.

Too unrealistic to enjoy

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was very disappointed in this book after reading all the hype about it. While the reading is good, the story is so nonsensical- a 6 year old left alone in a shack raises herself, living in the same shack, using the same boat, and no one lifts a hand to help her? In more than 20 years, the boat never breaks down, the house doesn't need repairs and she's able to wear the same clothes for many years....she's got long hair that she says is ratty and tangled but description s of it has it down her back, luxurious...she's gorgeous but bathing is optional until in her 20s...she has sex with a philanderer but never gets a vd and not once apparently does she get sick. No flu, cold, nothing....she never got shots and apparently has the immune system of a super hero because she stepped on a nail and never got tetanus....I kept reading so I'd finish and the ending is unexpected but it's generally a boring book where day after day, she's alone in the marsh....

Most irritating book I've read in a long time!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was sure I would like this book..and actually finished it. I grew more irritated with each page by the last half. I grew up in coastal North Carolina and was born in the 40s, so would be the same age as the main characters. It was clear that the author did not do her research about the area and about what would be plausible at the time of the story. When she mentioned real towns, she should have known Asheville would not be the destination city from the coast, especially in the 60s. Ma's old cardboard suitcase that had been in the closet in the marsh for 19 years would be covered in mildew, Fireflies would have been called lightening bugs. No boy in a small town in NC would have been named either Tate or Chase in 40s, more recent popular names. I could go on and on. The inconsistencies in the dialect was grating, and many parts of the story were just not believable to me. I am amazed that so many people loved the book and the poetry.

Did I read the same book as others?

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018

About half this book was good. Beautifully written at times, and with an interesting, plausible story. But wait...the gaps ...Maybe less time talking about Kya fumbling around with sex with Chase and more time on her development as a renowned author and painter would have been nice. There's more, but you may be reading the book. I must comment though on the most ridiculous court room antics since Curly's trial in a Three Stooges short. Oh, I think I just did. (And just after reading a book on Harper Lee - if you know what I mean). This was one of the most disappointing books I have read in quite a long time. Sorry Ms. Witherspoon. Can I get my money back if I return the book?

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book had so many fantastic reviews. I was looking forward to reading it but quickly became disillusioned. I'm from NC and have never heard anyone talk with the type of accents Ms. Owens chose for her characters. It seems like a small thing but it was extremely distracting, and eventually became ridiculous, especially because the characters somehow switched back and forth between speaking like Mark Twain's Jim to perfect English. It made me wonder if the author has ever been to our fair state. The story was good enough, albeit predictable, and it's obvious the author did her research on marsh life. I learned quite a few wildlife facts that were interesting. The conversations just kept me wrinkling up my nose with distaste and I ended the book on a sour note.

This is the one - this is THE book you cannot put down

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is one of the most moving, caring, emotional novels I have ever read. I read this book only because I had met Delia and have read her wildlife books she wrote with husband Mark Owens. After starting the book this was all I could think about for days. Kya's life become part of mine and the characters ceased to live on the page... they were alive with me and I was in the marsh, feeling every feather - the air, creatures and the plants. Jumpin' became a trusted friend and so many moments touched my very soul. I should not have been surprised as Delia has a great style in her wildlife books that I love to read. But a novel like this is not my normal read. Maybe I need to now reconsider what I choose as this book stopped me cold and made me rethink a lot that happened in my life. Delia touched the human soul with her behavioral descriptions. She is not only a respected wildlife scientist, she is a human behaviorist and understands more about the human condition that just about anyone else I know. This is a tremendous treasure of a book and I'm sure it's staying in my read again list for a long time. Highly recommend the book.

Take your time and savor every sentence.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am extremely stingy with my compliments for good books, but this tale is well-deserving of the praise. Of the last dozen or so books I've read, only two others earned five complete stars by me: She Read to Us in the Late Afternoons: A Life in Novels by Kathleen Hill, and Circe by Madeline Miller.

I have to confess that I have also had magical moments with marsh creatures such as herons, eagles, and mud turtles. Like the main character, Kya, I am a compulsive collector of treasures from those Great Rock Tumblers: the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean which makes this book so attractive to me. However, Delia Owens' writing is more than just about the natural world. She spins a good and very well-written tale about murder, courtroom drama, nature, poetry, and even love.

Another reviewer described Owens' writing as lyrical. It is. Take your time and savor every sentence.

Wow! I just finished reading Where the Crawdads Sing. And I will say it again, Wow! This books is so filled with emotion. Kya, the main character, is trying to survive by herself from a young age. She has been abandoned by those who should teach her, guide her, protect her. She has to fend for herself. Two men come into her life and teach her about the good and bad in life.

Complete claptrap

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This story of a six-year-old child left to fend for herself in a Carolina swamp when her stereotype swamp-trash likker-sluggin' pa finally doesn't come home again (we're not told why - hopefully an alligator ate him), is an exercise in cliches. We are asked to believe that this beautiful (natch), sensitive, artistic blah blah little girl raises herself from barefoot illiteracy to womanhood and published fame as a naturalist, with three self-illustrated books on marshland flora and fauna. She is taught to read and overnight to abandon her swamp patois for highbrow English by, gosh, a boy who falls in love with her, and manages to educate her to university level with some textbooks. Said boy, having achieved this Pygmalion-like transformation, then departs to do his own high-class degree, promising to return to his true love, who hangs around the swamp waiting. But he doesn't return because alas! he realises she is a wild creature, a child of nature who would never fit into civilisation, and so on. So he passes on coming back to claim her and Swamp Girl's heart broken. She has a fling with the baddie of the piece, another walking cliche - handsome, privileged, all the girls want to go to the prom with him - and predictably he breaks her heart by marrying an appropriate girl who wears shoes and pearls. Really at this point I was ready to give up on the novel, but there is a murder involved and I wanted to find out whodunnit. The murder itself is just a device and fails hopelessly. The trial is ludicrous, the murder allegations are based on evidence that no prosecuting counsel, fictional or otherwise, would have even remotely considered sound, and the attempts to build suspense during the jury's deliberations are just plain silly.

If this flimsy and wholly ridiculous plot line were in any way to be redeemed, it might have been through quality of writing because of the interesting environment of the swamp and its wildlife, but even in this the novel fails. The only passable passages are indeed the ones in which Ms Owens describes the swamp life. The dialogue is ridiculous, the love scenes are stitched together out of worn-out cliches, and the suspension of disbelief required of the reader is just asking way too much.

I have no doubt that Delia Owens is an excellent naturalist and ecologist and an asset to her field. But as a novelist, she doesn't cut it. Don't waste your money on this book.

Poignant novel set in NORTH CAROLINA

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

“There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot”

For months now – since it was the September 2018 Reece Witherspoon Hello Sunshine Book Club choice – I have seen nothing but glowing reviews of this seminal novel. It will, I am sure become a classic in its own right (there, I have already given away how I feel about the book!). The actress has also optioned the film rights for it.

This is the story of Kya, shortened from Catherine Danielle, who lives in the swampy marshes of North Caroline, not far from Asheville. Her mother walked out on her when she was young and she still has visions of her departure, suitcase in hand, faux snakeskin shoes, tripping her way down the track and out of sight. Her older siblings have also abandoned life in the little homestead, leaving her with her oftentimes drunk and violent father; he is around less and less as he fritters away any income, there is money neither for food nor clothes. To all intents and purposes she is abandoned by those who are important in her life and she is tasked with raising herself, this little “marsh girl” who has nothing in her life but the nature surrounding their hovel. The birds and wildlife are her companions. Oh, and she has access to her father’s small boat which gives her some mobility. She is adept at cruising the waterways.

Years pass and her loneliness becomes entrenched. Tate is drawn to this skinny young girl but ultimately he forsakes her for his studies, leaving her abandoned once again. Soon she is befriended by Chase, a dapper young man about town, a womaniser and who, we know, is found dead at the outset of the novel lying at the bottom of the Fire Tower. Natural suspicion amongst the nearby townsfolk falls on Kya because she is an oddball, she lives in poverty, she is different…. and she is female. Remember this is a time in American history when there was discrimination against anyone who was different to the overwhelmingly white populace. The author has an acute eye for capturing people, prejudices and small town life.

Kya, surrounded by the natural world starts to record what she sees and experiences. This holds her in good stead as her life develops. Yet she is no match as a single, lonely girl for the bigoted views held by those around her. A storm of prejudice and a need to see justice done, at any cost, whips through the community, targeting her as the only viable suspect in the murder case.

Loneliness is a theme throughout the novel that makes this a particularly heartfelt and poignant story.

What makes this a fabulous read are the rich descriptions, the language and the languorous pace that, just like the waterways, move the story along at just the right tempo. The setting comes to life beautifully. The writing and storytelling has been compared to the work of Barbara Kingsolver and I can really see why!

The title comes from common parlance in the area and means …far in the bush where critters are wild, still behaving like critters…

I was sad when this book came to an end and it is still vibrantly with me, a couple of weeks down the line. It indeed has all the hallmarks of a future classic!

Stunning masterpiece of literature!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

This genuinely a novel that I could not put down for a number of reasons. The author’s unsurpassed knowledge and understanding of ‘nature’ and the natural world is more than matched by her beautiful descriptive poetic prose. Her keen and insightful observations on our society, on relationships,love, prejudice, racism and sexism are intermingled with a fast paced and gripping story which takes us on an emotional journey that, although set in the 30’s through to the 70’s, is even more relevant today than it was then. In the era of ‘me too’ - we should take heed and learn from this incredible, vivid and at times disturbing reflection on humanity (or inhumanity) as seen through the eyes of nature itself. We have a lot to learn from this book about our natural world and our relationship with it. I place this novel amongst the classics of all time - an easy match for any of the greats - Thomas Hardy, DH Lawrence JD Salinger. Delia Owens is up there with the very best. This book brought me to tears many times and pulled at every emotion you can possible think of. Congratulations on an epic first novel. Thank you for the experience- I will carry it with me for the rest of my life.

An incredible book. Kya was a person abandoned by all who learned to survive. She lived in a swamp and learned about the ecology of that swamp and became not only an expert on the area but an artist who recorded the whole area. A murder occurs and she was accused of it. She was taken into custody and was away from her swamp for as she was put on trial. The whole book is wonderful ..a story of survival in the face of prejudice, of poverty and loneliness. A definite must read.

Gradually abandoned by her family and shunned by the locals of Barkley Cove,Kya manages to eke out a living in the surrounding swampland.Although she is supported by Jumpin and his wife Mabel from Colored Town,their social status is barely above her own.
Kya quickly becomes more at ease with nature than people and her relationships with the opposite sex are traumatic.
Delia Owens' rich,descriptive prose gives us a valuable insight into the scenery and wildlife of the region but most importantly the intriguing character of Kya.
I gave this four stars because the beginning was painfully slow,the poetry becomes annoying after a time and the timetable of events at the Fire Tower seemed implausible.

This book was so amazing, firstly just because of how different it is! I find there's so many of the same (now boring) books out there that once I found this I couldn't put it down!! It is so interesting reading from the perspective of Kya, starting from when she is very young and how she learns to survive on her own, her outlook on the world from living so isolated for so long. The beautiful descriptions of the land and the marsh, I have never been to the marshes but the way Cordelia describes it through Kya it is so easy to imagine!! Love love loved this!! A story about nature, growing up, coming of age and survival. 10/10.

So far my best choice for 2019

Reviewed in Canada on March 22, 2019

A riveting, fascinating, coming of age story that is so much more than that. If you enjoy tales of people stricken by hard luck then pulling themselves up by the bootstrap, possible murder mystery, courtroom drama, wildlife and romance, and even more, you have described this book. And like the proverbial cherry on top, it is beautifully written in both prose and a smattering of poetry. What's not to love.

This is a book every mother should give to her daughter about the age twelve or thirteen. But men will appreciate it too. And there should be a film. If I ever read a book which should be a movie, this is it.

Imagine you are the youngest girl in a family of five other siblings and Ma and Pa. Pa is an alcoholic abuser of his wife and most unpleasant fellow. After enduring him for years, Ma walks out of the marsh one day and never returns. This is only the beginning of the abandonment of Kya, five years old. I hope that peaked your interest as I have no intention of ruining one of the best stories I've ever read by telling you more. Let's just say, that you will never forget Kya long after you've finished the book.

Where the Crawdads Sing is an extraordinary tale, well told.

I was so looking forward to this book and I have to say it didn't disappoint. The story is exceptionally well written. The Author wraps all the characters around you so they are believable. The story is based around a girl left to survive on her own deep in the marsh land of the Carolinas, where she has been abandoned, mistrusted by almost everyone. She manages to survive through many strife's until, years later, there is a body found and villagers, not knowing what else to do, point the finger at the Marsh girl they have come to fear over the years .... I will say, the story had me hooked from page one and it was finished within 24 hours!!!

What a ridiculous book The only redeeming feature was the descriptions of the marshlands - all the rest was unreadable rubbish. Absurd plot, dreadful dialogue, terrible sex scenes - absolutely nothing to recommend this over-acclaimed novel. The notion of an illiterate marsh girl self-educating to the level of an academic research scientist beggars belief. Then the appalling poetry! I wish I had given it up long before I struggled to finish it. I couldn’t be bothered in the end - and I hate to abandon a novel.

Pathetic Verse and Worse

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2020

“Where the Crawdads Sing” has an enticing title. Unfortunately, it’s the best thing about the book. The natural science - of which there is too much - may be accurate; I cannot tell. The rest of the book is bad beyond belief. The plot is rickety; the characters are barely one-dimensional; the prose is sugary and sickening. As for the dialogue...most “sound” like cartoon characters. The nadir, though, are the truly dire poems, dropped haphazardly into the text. How this waste of space came to be published escapes me totally. Perhaps one can fool most of the people all the time. This is said to be the author’s first novel. On the evidence of this trash, she would be well advised not to think about a second.

I don’t understand how or why this book made it on to the NYT bestseller list?? I found it to be implausible and unrelatable. Kya, a completely uneducated urchin has raised herself alone in a marsh from the age of six. By the time she’s not yet even reached adulthood, she’s magically become a world renowned marine biologist having written and illustrated several books? And she has her own publicist...*insert skeptical face* The plot made no sense. Characters were poorly developed, unbelievable, and I just didn’t really care about any of them. Not a bestseller for me on any level.

Nicely written.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed most of this book, and it was nicely written so it was quite easy to ignore some of the more irritating things, like constant head-hopping, and the fact that the main character's situation was a bit far-fetched. Her sudden change from wild child to (quite prim) author of brilliantly-received books was a bit of a jump; I'd have preferred to have read a little more about how it happened, that might have made it more believable. I thought that was brushed aside too quickly, and meant I didn't really experience it the way a reader should.

The murder storyline held me for a while, but ultimately it was no surprise when I found the 'twist.' It was kind of telegraphed.
The characters, which should have been the driving force behind what seemed like a literary novel at first, were mostly flat and cliched; that was a disappointment; much more could have been made of them, which would have enriched the reading experience. The brother coming and going was a bit pointless and went nowhere, and the white-hat/black-hat aspect of the two young men in Kya's life was another cliche that brought the rating down.

The writing was often startlingly good, there were many sentences which really sang, but overall it all felt a bit cobbled together, and the intrigue felt shoe-horned in. Also it did feel a bit like a nature lesson at times, with the descriptions nicely done but unnecessary, and delivered in a very lecture-like way. Not as they'd be viewed from the 'Swamp Girl's' perspective.
Overall then, I liked the writing, and the premise was promising, but I don't think it quite delivered in the end.
