For years, the wildest rumors have circulated about "the Marsh Girl" of Barkley Cove, a small town in North Carolina. However, Kya is not that wild and illiterate girl that everyone imagines and fears. At the age of ten, abandoned by her family, she must learn to survive alone in the swamp, which has become a natural refuge and protection for her. Her encounter with Tate, a sweet and cultured young man who teaches her to read and write, makes her discover science and poetry, transforming the young girl forever. But Tate, called by his studies, abandons her in turn. Loneliness becomes so heavy that Kya does not distrust enough of the one who will soon cross her path and promise her another life. When the irreparable occurs, she can only count on herself...
Delia Owens is an American zoologist and author, internationally known for her novel debut Where the Crawdads Sing. Set in the North Carolina marshes, the book became one of the major publishing successes of the 2010s.
