Where the Crawdads Sing

for me, one thing that made itself noticed is how whole and encompassing this book feels. it is not only a description of a topographical place or of a certain period, not only a story about a girl on one side and the entire world on the other. it is all of these and more.

it touches on every aspect of life. rich in themes and emotions conveyed.

what is also remarkable is that the author knows her space. no surprise Delia Owens is a wildlife scientist; she is more than capable to describe and tell stories about the marsh and the interconnections of the ecosystem.

the subplot of the Walker family is well built and i enjoyed it, probably, the most.

in the end, it is a well-written book and a good story.
