This is a deeply affecting novel, lyrical and unforgettable. I can't even express how much I love this book! My September pick is Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. It's about a young woman named Kya, who's left to
raise herself in the marshes of North Carolina when her family abandons her at a young age.
Delia Owens is the co-author of three internationally bestselling nonfiction books about her life as a wildlife scientist in Africa including Cry of the Kalahari.
She has won the John Burroughs Award for Nature Writing and has been published in Nature, The African Journal of Ecology, and many others.
She currently lives in Idaho. Where the Crawdads Sing is her first novel.
