Painfully beautiful.--The New York Times Book Review

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.

Teodora Roxana a dat nota:

Peste 62 000 de mii.Acesta este numarul de la care se porneste atunci cand ne referim la numarul total de cuvinte in limba romana.Cu toate acestea,atunci cand ma intreaba cineva care este cartea mea preferata si o mentionez pe aceasta,toate cuvintele mi se opresc in gat.Din multitudinea de adjective existente,mi se pare ca niciunul nu este capabil sa reflecte maretia acestei capodopere,pentru ca da,pentru mine asta reprezinta acest roman,o opera de arta. Sosisem de curand in lumea cartilor,dupa un drum anevoios si buclucas,nu prea intelegeam exact unde trebuie sa ajung,iar in calatoria mea,m-am oprit in cateva statii,fara sa caut vreo destinatie.Mainile mele au atins coperti,degetele mele au rasfoit pagini,in ochii mei s-au proiectat cuvinte,dar mereu simteam ca lipseste ceva ,ca nu reusesc sa ajung nicaieri,asa ca porneam mai departe. Cand am ales aceasta lectura,nu aveam nimic in minte, nici o asteptare,doar un alt bilet de calatorie de adaugat la celalalte,poate doar distanta dintre aceasta si urmatoarea mea aventura de neuitat.Ma astrasese doar sinopsis-ul,pentru ca imi plac mult thrillerele,iar subiectul acesteia il constituia o crima. Am inceput temator si lent,dar,usor ,usor ,s-a conturat in mintea mea universul Kiei,o fetita fata de care am simtit cea mai mare compasiune.Asteptam cu fiecare fila sa se ajunga la fapta incriminatoare,sa pot sa imi dau cu presupusul despre posibili faptasi,cum eram obisnuita la romanele de gen,dar,fara sa imi dau seama ,am fost cuprinsa intr-o cu totul alta poveste,ceea ce scria pe biletul meu,nu corespundea cu peisajul ce ma inconjura.Si cat de mult m-am inselat,si bine ca am facut-o!Pentru ca altfel,cum ar fi putut fetita asta sa starneasca atata emotie in mine,cum m-ar fi putut determina sa o indragesc atat de mult incat sa ii fiu tovaras de drum,sa traiesc ceea ce simte ea,sa imi doresc sa o avertizez de pericolele ce o vaneaza ,sa o tin de mana cand se simte singura si sa o strang tare in brate atunci cand nu este nimeni care sa o faca.Aceasta fetita care a crescut si a devenit femeie sub ochii mintii mele si care,consider eu,reprezinta cate o bucatica din fiecare femeie de pe pamant:putere,ambitie,bunatate,sensibilitate si incapatanare. Cred ca toti si toate pot empatiza cu acest personaj magnific si,sunt convinsa,ca avem cu totii ce invata de la acest roman mirific:pe mine m-a invatat ce este rabdarea.Pentru ca o capodopera se construieste in timp,cu pasiune,delicatete si perseverenta.Am simtit si am dat de tot ceea ce nici nu stiam ca sunt in cautare:mister,drama,suspans,actiune si un strop de iubire(nu cat sa fie prea siropos),chiar mai multa pentru fauna,Delia Owens este zoolog,pentru cine nu stie.Eu am fost socata cand am aflat,mai ales ca am vrut sa ii mai citesc si celalalte carti.Are doar una de fictiune.Aceasta.Este destul si nu suficient,totodata. Luni intregi nu am putut nici mentiona titlul fara sa plang.Am terminat-o in trei zile,dar si atunci cand am facut-o,la 2 noaptea,aveam ochii plansi si umflati de de-abia mai deosebeam litera "r" de "t",iar acestea doua nici nu prea seamana.Cand m-am trezit,dimineata,iar am inceput sa plang pentru ca imi amintisem ca si cum o terminasem.Da,categoric ea m-a terminat pe mine. De-abia acum,un an mai tarziu,pot scrie o recenzie fara sa ma apuce plansul printre randuri,desi, de ochii umeziti nu am promis nimic. Da..."Acolo unde canta racii"...Si acum am impresia ca am scris cuvinte ,dar tot nu am spus nimic.Cuvintele umanilor nu ii fac justitie,dar o sa incerc imposibilul intr-un cuvant: magnifica. Delia Owens,te iubesc pentru mintea ta si te urasc pentru ca alegi sa ne-o impartasesti cu portia.

Recenzii

A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature . . . Owens here surveys the desolate marshlands of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And in her isolation that child makes us open our own eyes to the secret wonders-and dangers-of her private world
Part murder-mystery, part coming-of-age novel, its evocation of the marshland and its inhabitants is as unforgettable as Kya herself. A story of loneliness, survival and love that's as engrossing as it is moving
For a debut the prose is impressively accomplished . . . A Hollywood film seems inevitable. Yet it will be hard to match on screen the delicacy of Owens's exploration of the natural world. Kya and her magical little world are a rare achievement
Kya is a compelling character, Owen's descriptive prose is lushly impressive, and the twist in the narrative's tail is neat
Owens combines high tension with precise detail about how people dress, sound, live and eat - the case studies in her book are both human and natural . . . Surprise bestsellers are often works that chime with the times. Though set in the 1950s and 60s, Where the Crawdads Sing is, in its treatment of racial and social division and the fragile complexities of nature, obviously relevant to contemporary politics and ecology. But these themes will reach a huge audience though the writer's old-fashioned talents for compelling character, plotting and landscape description
For sheer escapism pick up Where The Crawdads Sing . . . there is writing that takes your breath away
All is not as it seems in this heartbreaking coming-of-age bestseller
An Amazon Best Book of August 2018: This novel has a mystery at its core, but it can be read on a variety of levels. There is great nature writing; there is coming of age; and there is literature. Crawdads is a story lovingly told-one that takes its time in developing its characters and setting, and in developing the story. You'll want to relax and take your time as well, and when you're done you will want to talk about it with another reader.
Unsettling and tinged with sadness, yet astonishingly fresh, powerful and mesmerising - with a surprising ending that will haunt you. I couldn't put it down
The strength of the story comes from the sympathetic portrait of its heroine who cannot fail to captivate, right up until the surprising end
Steeped in the rhythms and shadows of the coastal marshes of North Carolina's Outer Banks, this fierce and hauntingly beautiful novel centers on...Kya's heartbreaking story of learning to trust human connections, intertwine[d] with a gripping murder mystery, revealing savage truths. An astonishing debut.
This lush mystery is perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver
A nature-infused romance with a killer twist
Both a coming-of-age story and a mysterious account of a murder investigation told from the perspective of a young girl...Through Kya's story, Owens explores how isolation affects human behavior, and the deep effect that rejection can have on our lives
Heart-wrenching...A fresh exploration of isolation and nature from a female perspective along with a compelling love story.
A lush debut novel, Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose. It's clear she's from this place-the land of the southern coasts, but also the emotional terrain-you can feel it in the pages. A magnificent achievement, ambitious, credible and very timely

This is a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story, perfect for book clubs
A story that's evocative and sad and with a remarkable heroine
I didn't expect such a beautifully-written, gorgeously- immersive literary novel which is also a page-turner. I spun out the last few pages because I didn't want it to end
