"Chase Andrews stirbt, und die Bewohner der ruhigen Küstenstadt Barkley Cove sind sich einig: Schuld ist das Marschmädchen. Kya Clark lebt isoliert im Marschland mit seinen Salzwiesen und Sandbänken. Sie kennt jeden Stein und Seevogel, jede Muschel und Pflanze. Als zwei junge Männer auf die wilde Schöne aufmerksam werden, öffnet Kya sich einem neuen Leben -- mit dramatischen Folgen. Delia Owens erzählt intensiv und atmosphärisch davon, dass wir für immer die Kinder bleiben, die wir einmal waren. Und den Geheimnissen und der Gewalt der Natur nichts entgegensetzen können." --from publisher.

"For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. She's barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark. But Kya is not what they say. Abandoned at age ten, she has survived on her own in the marsh that she calls home. A born naturalist with just one day of school, she takes life lessons from the land, learning from the false signals of firefliesthe real way of this world. But while she could have lived in solitude forever, the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. Drawn to two young men from town, who are each intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world--until the unthinkable happens. In Where the Crawdads Sing, Owens juxtaposes an exquisite ode to the natural world against a heartbreaking coming of age story and a surprising murder investigation." --Provided by publisher.
