Synopsis "Where the Crawdads Sing "

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE--The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 18 million copies sold, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature." 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.

Delia Owens (Americus, Georgia, United States, 1949) trained as a zoologist and ethologist. She grew up in Thomasville and earned a degree in Zoology at the University of Georgia. In 1974, with her then-husband, Mark Owens, she moved to Africa to work first in Botswana (Central Kalahari Reserve, and from those studies obtained a PhD in Ethology at the University of California) and later in Zambia. After spending twenty-three years in Africa, she moved to a ranch in Idaho, in the northwest of the United States. After writing several scientific essays (Cry of the Kalahari, The Eye of the Elephant, Secrets of the Savanna), she set out to write a novel. Thus was born Where the Crawdads Sing, published in the United States in August 2018. At seventy, it has been a record-breaking narrative debut: it has spent several months in the top position of the New York Times bestseller list, has sold more than three million copies, and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
