Delia Owens: Where the Crawfish Sing

For years, rumors of Swamp Girl have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the coast of North Carolina. And when the body of Chez, a local playboy, was found in late 1969, the townspeople immediately suspected Kia Clarke, a girl who had lived in the swamps as a recluse since early childhood. Sensitive and intelligent, Kia indeed calls the swamp her home, and her friends - marsh birds, fish, animals. But when the time comes for growing up, Kia discovers a completely different side of life, a desire to love and be loved awakens in her. And Kia happily plunges into this unknown new world - until the unthinkable happens. The novel by the famous biologist Delia Owens is a real ode to nature, a tender story about growing up, a novel about loneliness, about the connection of people, about whether people even need each other, and at the same time it is a dark, mysterious story with a murder that was or not.
