Where the Crawdads Sing

In 1969, a murder shakes a small North Carolina town, and Kya Clark, a young girl who has survived on her own in the marshes since childhood, is suddenly at the center of it all, accused of killing the town's golden boy. Abandoned by her family, Kya's defiant spirit has been shaped by years of loneliness and struggle, but also by a deep connection with nature and the creatures that inhabit it. As she faces trial for the murder of Chase Andrews, Kya must confront the complex web of relationships that have defined her life and fight to prove her innocence.
