The book is beautifully written with a strong rapport between nature and humanity. One cannot help but root for the main character, Kya, through all of her trials and tribulations. The reader is kept on the edge of their throughout the second half of the book and is stunned by the end of the story. Somehow, the ending provides closure and more questions, further cementing Kya as an enigma, the Marsh Girl. Where the Crawdads Sing puts a lesser-discussed part of the US on display with a cast of complex, human characters alongside the marsh at it story's core.

Love, love, loved this book from start to finish. I seriously never wanted it to end and would’ve followed those characters through an entire series. The narrator did a great job as well.

This was a beautiful poignant story and the way Kya is revered for her vivid and informative imagery so too are the words of this book. If you like your inspiring, against-all-odds type of stories that handle matters of the heart and a little bit of mystery then please indulge yourself in this poetic beauty.
