Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

Really enjoyed this story. The main character, Kya was so poignantly alive to me. Nature, her environment was also wonderfully characterized. The description of the life of the marshlands of the Carolina coast enabled me to feel like a visitor to this unique habitat. A story of a young child who survives abandonment and endures loneliness, the few important people in her life, and always the incredible presence of an environment both harsh and also beautiful and nurturing. I loved this book.
