In August we met to discuss
Madeleine's choice which was
"Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens. This was a
very popular book and everyone loved it. It was set in the
coastal marshes of North Carolina where a 5 year old is
virtually abandoned by her family and is left to her own
wits to survive. Except for the intermittent presence of a drunk
abusive father she rarely has contacts with outsiders.
Kya has to learn to trust human connections. It is a
coming of age story as well as an engrossing whodunit with
a major surprise ending.
This was Owen's debut fiction novel and she delivers in gorgeous
lyrical prose.
Owens was a wildlife scientist in Africa and wrote three non
fiction books about her life in Africa.
Kathy chose "The Great Alone" by Kristen Hannah.
