Where The Crawdads Sing
I loved this novel! Give me an author that can write and some individuals living off the grid and I am happier than a fox in a henhouse. I’m glad that I didn’t read many detailed reviews on this novel and although I hesitated to buy the novel, I’m glad that I forked over the money because I am definitely going to reread it in the future. As soon as I finished reading this novel, I was dancing all over the house, as this novel was one of those novels that got down deep inside me. I had to give my hubby a quick play-by-play of what happened, the words just came tumbling out.
The more that I read, the more I admired Kya. I loved how she managed to live in the marsh all those years, basically by herself. I wondered as she commented about the amount of time that she spent in school, if those comments were her own crafty way to address the individual that she had become. Over the years, Kya had indeed inquired quite the skills and strength living in the marsh, and I think to a point, she was hardened.
I enjoyed how the two stories slowly came together in the novel. There were moments that I became worried about Kya’s maturity level as relationships developed and times that Kya surprised me when her actions went beyond what I had expected.
This was a fantastic novel that I highly recommend if you haven’t read it yet.
