Where the Crawdads Sing
Delia Owens
Delia Owens’s novel follows Kya, abandoned as a child in a coastal marsh, and the investigation into Chase Andrews’s death. It asks how isolation, prejudice, and survival shape belonging and judgment. Kya’s study of wildlife becomes an education and a livelihood, while the trial tests what ambiguous evidence can establish about someone the town has already judged.
