Sinossi
A Barkley Cove, un tranquillo villaggio di pescatori, circolano strane voci sulla Ragazza della palude. Dall'età di sei anni Kya si aggira completamente sola tra canali e canneti, con qualche straccio addosso e a piedi nudi. Ha al suo attivo un solo giorno di scuola, ma la palude e le sue creature per lei non hanno segreti: la nutrono, la cullano, la proteggono, sono maestre e compagne di giochi. Kya impara a decifrare i segni della natura prima ancora di saper leggere un libro: nella sua assoluta solitudine sembra bastare a se stessa. Ma la sua bellezza non tarda a sbocciare: insolita, selvatica, sfuggente accende il desiderio nei ragazzi del paese. Kya scopre l'amore, la sua dolcezza e le sue trappole. Quando negli acquitrini riaffiora il corpo senza vita di Chase Andrews, gli occhi di tutti puntano su di lei, la misteriosa ragazza dimenticata: i mormorii diventano subito accuse, i sospetti incrollabili certezze. Il processo, fuori e dentro al tribunale, trascina la vicenda verso il suo imprevedibile e folgorante epilogo. "La ragazza della palude" è il romanzo commovente di un'infanzia segnata dall'abbandono e di una natura che si rivela madre, non matrigna. Ma è anche la storia di una violazione e di un segreto gelosamente custodito, che mette in discussione i confini tra la verità e la menzogna, il bene e il male.

Seeing as to how I skipped most of the second half of the book, I have no choice but to give it one star. There are so many things wrong with it, I hardly know where to start.

Phew, I finally made it through this book! My apologies to everyone who loved this, but unfortunately, I did not, and no one's sadder than me. Reading Where the Crawdads Sing was like stepping back in time to high school, when class-assigned books meant lots of award-winning fiction. Sure, there were Leggi tutto
All of you talked me into reading this book. The Goodreads reviews were virtually unanimously good, not just good, great. It had to be good, I thought. And because I needed an extra audiobook I bought it on Libro.fm and locked myself into reading it. Bad decision. This book is just a pile of tropes a Leggi tutto
You know that person? The one who doesn't like what everyone else seems to love? There has to be someone in the outlier club and this time it is me.
