Amy 
historical fiction, mystery
Sadly, despite the hype, Where the Crawdads Sing did not
exceed expectations. However, I did enjoy this
beautifully written, poetic tale about a deserted marsh girl learning to live
life on her own terms. Delia Owens’ writing style echoed the melancholy, peaceful
setting of the coastal North Carolina marsh on which Kya dwelled. Kya’s story was one of necessity, passion,
and self-sufficiency. The author echoed
Kya’s love of nature through her words and, like Kya, taught the readers of
this book to appreciate the natural beauty of marsh life. However, also like marsh life, the pacing of
this novel was slower than I prefer. I enjoyed the mystery within the tale.
