Where The Crawdads Sing
SYNOPSIS
A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick
"I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end!" Reese Witherspoon
"Painfully beautiful." The New York Times Book Review
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say.
Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life - until the unthinkable happens.
Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Celeste Ng, WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Maravilhoso
JA
Fiquei presa à história do início ao fim. Adorei as descrições e senti mesmo que conseguia idealizar na perfeição os locais descritos.
Arrepiante e surpreendente!

Este livro leva-nos numa viagem repleta de reviravoltas e um misto de sentimentos. As descrições da natureza envolvente são fantásticas, e qualquer fã do mundo natural ficará rendido. Além disso, o mistério em que está imerso é cativante e faz sempre querer ler mais. O tema do preconceito é também chave, e relembra-nos para não julgamos um livro pela capa. Confesso que não foi uma leitura leve, mas valeu muito a pena!
What a surprise...

When I started reading this book, I didn´t know much about it and thought it would be a very slow-paced book with no plot. But boy was I wrong! By the end of chapter 4 I could tell this would be my favourite book for a while. The writing is marvelous and the story is amazing, and you really get surprised at the very end, at least I know I did.
Inesquecível

Uma história que nos transporta para uma pequena cidade costeira na Carolina do Norte, onde se desenvolve um conto de solidão, sobrevivência e amor. Não podia recomendar mais!
América longínqua

Não estava à espera de gostar tanto!a narrativa desdobra-se em duas épocas temporais mas sempre a acompanhar personagem principal. E com o desenrolar das duas histórias, com os cenários idílicos que são descritos, sentimo-nos lá, e torcemos pelo final feliz daquela menina.
