A heartbreaking coming-of-age story set in 1969, Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens takes place in Barkley Cove, a small town on the North Carolina coast where a young woman named Kya Clark who survived alone in the marsh becomes a murder suspect.
“Carries the rhythm of an old time ballad. It is clear Owens knows this land intimately, from the black mud sucking at footsteps to the taste of saltwater and the cry of seagulls,” says David Joy, author of The Line That Held Us.
Owens’ novel has been on the New York Times Fiction Best Seller list for 125 weeks. Here are other books on the list:
- Good Company by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
- The Red Book by James Patterson and David Ellis
- Northern Spy by Flynn Berry
- First Person Singular by Haruki Murakam
- The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
