About This Item
I have available a scarce first edition/first printing copy of Delia Owen's blockbuster novel, Where the Crawdads Sing. This book was published in 2018 by Putnam and is a first edition/first printing with the full numberline ( 13579108642) and no book club slug on the jacket front. The book is in very good condition with some bumping to the bottom of the book's spine and a previous owner's name along the top of the free end page. The dust jacket is in very good condition with some wear along the top extremities. Some of the first several pages of this book has some light folds. Despite these flaws, this book is in pretty good shape. Fine copies of this book fetch over $300 but I'm going to offer this title for just $100.
upon completion of purchase, this book will be bubble wrapped and shipped out to you in a box via media mail with delivery confirmation.
Synopsis
“For years, rumors 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. Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.” - from publisher
Reviews
First of all, I received this book very quickly. Now the book itself is excellent. It was recommended by my Aunt and and Cousin who gushed about the book. I loved this book and understood Reece Witherspoon bought the rights and is making the movie. I cannot wait for the movie. I couldn't put this book down. Read through it in a few days. It's that good!
