Where the Crawdads Sing

A természet és társadalom időtlensége

Ugyan Delia Owens remekművének sikerlisták tetején töltött heteit már összeszámolni sem könnyű feladat, és a történet sorai és szereplői már a mozivásznon is megelevenedtek, a Where the Crawdads Sing üzenete, a szinte megigéző hatása mégis minden olvasás során képes megújulni, és a karakterek mélyebb és mélyebb feltárásán keresztül egy korábban ismeretlen megközelítésen át elvezetni az olvasót az élet egyik legsúlyosabb kérdéséhez: mik az alapvető különbségek a természet és a társadalom működési elvei között? És ami még fontosabb, meddig relativizálhatók a két működés erkölcsi alapvetései?

For years, rumours 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.


A painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature . . . Owens here surveys the desolate marshlands of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And in her isolation that child makes us open our own eyes to the secret wonders-and dangers-of her private world - New York Times

Both a coming-of-age story and a mysterious account of a murder investigation told from the perspective of a young girl...Through Kya's story, Owens explores how isolation affects human behavior, and the deep effect that rejection can have on our lives - Vanity Fair
