Where the crayfish sing. Owens D.

For many years in Barkley-Kov, a quiet town on the coast of North Carolina, whispered about a swamp girl. And when at the end of 1969 they found the body of Czez, the local playboy, the inhabitants of the town immediately suspected Kia Clark - a girl, who lived a hermit in the swamps from early childhood. The sensitive and smart Kia actually called her house a swamp, and friends - swamp birds and animals. But now the time of growing up comes, and Kia discovers for itself a completely different side of life, in it the desire to love and be loved wakes up in it. And Kia happily plunges into this unknown new world - until the unthinkable occurs. The novel of the famous biologist Delia Owens is a real ode to nature, a gentle story about growing up, about loneliness, about the connection of people, about whether people are needed at all. And at the same time, it is a dark, mysterious story with the murder that was either, or not.
