“I’ve never been to a marsh” are words you won’t be able to speak after this book. Storytelling at its finest.
I’ve never had a nervous breakdown reading a book. I’m sure all of you can agree. The ending was FANTASTIC.
Kersty Poo absolutely! I read it in 24 hours and definitely had a few breakdowns
I finished reading it last night and sobbed more than once. It really touched my heart.
I just started reading it today. 30 pages in. I can’t wait to get into it.
I was holding my breath! I thought it myself please please don’t end terribly, please close the eloquently. And it did not disappoint!
@@kindnesssprinkles Was it? You posted this 6 months ago. So how did you find it?
She's 70 and this is her first novel? How bout that.
Well, she wrote other fantastic books, but this was the first novel. :-)
@@gzahnd I'm actually really happy for her. I'm in the process of my first novel myself. A wild ride.
One of the best books I've ever read. Can't wait for the movie.
I can't wait for the movie too Susan. I read it in 2 days....
Daisy Edgar Jones will be playing the role of Kya. Can’t wait.
I just hope the movie does justice to the book. There’s nothing I hate more than a movie that butchers a perfectly wonderful book.
Irs here.
@@hellosunshine305 exactly. They ruined dark tower and that was just blasphemy.
For the cynics in the comments; the book is beloved because every plot within the story (drama, romance, mystery, nature) reaches levels of deep introspective insight that few authors can reach. And, now I know why. It’s a masterpiece. And it will speak to the soul of every nature lover worldwide.
Annie Aviles You are absolutely Right!
Have you read her non-fiction works (written with her ex-husband)? They are spell-binding for nature lovers. I wanted to *be* her after meeting her and reading the books back in the '80s! I even lived in Africa for a while, though not in the wilderness.
Let them write a book. Few do.
I devoured this book in 3 days. As someone who has grown up around the Louisiana marshlands, this book brings me home. It holds an incredible story, words that paint vivid pictures, and a strong, brave and intelligent protagonist-something I, as a woman, long to be.
I only wish I had been able to survive my life in such a wonderful way.
'the effect isolation and loneliness can have on a person'...a relevant topic in 2020
As a reader all of my life, I have read many authors, many, many books. I am now 70 now and this book floored me. The sadness, the happiness the ending, the beginning was unbelievable! July 15th for the movie! Truly a fantastic book!
Best fiction I've read in a very long time. Great book
I’m almost done with the book now and every passage has at least one line that leaves me floored. Her prose is next level-absolutely beautiful.
One of the best books I’ve ever read! Thank you Delia!
This book brought tears, laughter and nervous tension. Delia Owens is an amazing writer! I truly enjoyed her writing! Thank you so much Delia!
I want to feel that nervous tension and the breakdown. Want it so bad because so far I am not impressed.
I stayed up all night reading this book. Thank you for the chance to see and hear the author. What a beautiful woman! 70 years old and still going strong - she's my new inspiration!
I’m about 85 or so pages into this book. It is so beautifully written! I can’t tell you how much I care about the main character, and I’m so excited to see what happens next. I am a big nature lover, although I live about 10 minutes outside of New York City in a suburb. I know what she means when she says she feels at home when she’s in nature. I feel very similarly. Such a lovely woman, I’m so very happy for all her success. I want to finish the book before I see the movie. When a commercial comes on for the trailer, I try to mute it and turn away. Lol I don’t want it to ruin my experience with the book. I have already envisioned what everyone looks like, and what her surroundings look like too. Well, I’m gonna get off here now, and dive back into the book. Good night all!
I am late to the party when it comes to singing my praises of
'Where the Crawdads Sing'
At once an uncomfortable examination of human loneliness and cruel abandonment, then next a beautiful reminder of the human soul's ability to heal in the arms of Mother Nature.
Breathtaking!
This book is AMAZING!!! READ IT NOW EVEN IF YOU DONT LIKE TO READ
If you don't like to read you will not like this book. It's very beginner unfriendly.
@@trestrom6401 I thought I didn't like to read until I read non-fiction. As they say"there are no bad readers. There are only readers who have not yet found their type of book". So after many years I decided I would dare to read a fiction book. I picked this book because of the ratings, and I'm having a hard time keeping up and not losing focus. I myself wrote a book recently and it's a memoir. Yes nonfiction. I don't want to give up on this book yet. I read about one third of it so far.
@@laurelleafr6091 The book has good atmosphere and imagery, but it's hard to tie a central plot to it and it's kinda dry in some bits, making it very unfriendly for people who often don't read. I remember in highschool senior year over 95 percent of the class didn't get past like the 20th page. It's a good journey if you stick with it though.
I loved this book, I didn’t want it to end. Well written and I couldn’t put it down!! The book was perfection in every way!!!
Her hair is beautiful!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Her hair is gorgeous! She's adorable!
I wonder if her feet are just as beautiful ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The hair on her horses was equally as lovely 👍👍
Just finished this book. Loved it. Thank you. Keep writing the best books.
It was such a beautiful story ,I didn't want the story to end 💜
I almost have no words to praise this book...it will remain with ma always...has no book has ever done...thank you Delia Owens!
I listened to yhis book and it touched every single emotion my heart can.produce. THANK YOU!!! I'm 73, I have been writing since I was 20, thousands of words, on newspapers ages, paper plates in Caffès, on paper, notebooks, walls, tables, ..BUT, I am nor brave enough to give it all a shape for a book. So, CONGRATULATIONS DSLIA OWENS!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best books I read this year. Didn't want it to end. Love every character, the storytelling, the pace, and the vivid description of nature.
I'm ordering the book today. Thank you for this wonderful, inspiring piece. What a charming woman!!
Happy reading girl!
Came here after seeing the movie. Haven't read the book but I had to see the person who wrote that story. She's as I expected her to be and more! What a happy person in her habitat!
Great story, well written, one of my best reads in a couple years, and I read a lot👍👍
I loved this book and have recommended it to every one of my friends!!!
she is such a beautiful person, inside and out!!
One of my all-time favorite books! It will always be a treasure to me and I thank Delia Owens for writing it.
I loved her novel. What a heroine. One of my all time favorite books.
It's interesting because I relate to this feeling, when I lived in Vermont there is a beauty to the solitude. I miss being there so much! I remember my least stressful times where when I would spend endless hours in the woods uninterrupted, picking berries and going fishing. Those were my most exciting moments. Delia mentioned loneliness too, I have felt that feeling whether I was with or without people around. Having autism brings about its own dose of loneliness. Delia is a sweet soul and I wish I could meet her one day.
Know exactly what you mean. Lived many years in the
Adirondack Mts.
In New York..
I’ll say this, my heart never beat faster than during the court room hearing.
Definitely the best audio book ever.... Listened to it multiple times....
Wonderful story!! 😀
I cried when she picked up the phone and told her that her book is number one for the third week 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Notes scribbled on any piece of handy, available paper, flashlight by her side for middle of the night inspiration and many years spent toiling sounds exactly like the path I traveled in writing my book....
I listened to the audio version of the book. Excellent. Young Kya reminded me of Scout (Finch, of course).
I made that connection too!
Most unputdownable book I've read in a long while.
Beautifully written and touches the heart and soul.
Hopefully there is more to come Kia seemed so real and am still feel sad thinking of her plus twist at end of story.💘💘
I use to hate reading I am dyslexic and I’m half way reading this book and because of it I love reading I love how it’s written and the story line
try the coloured sheets....my dyslexic son reads better with green overlays....
This book was hard to put down. Beautiful story.
The best book I have read in years. Compelling.
My favourite book ever! It's just something else. I can't believe Daisy out of Normal People is playing Kya- I always thought she would suit the role so well! Ahhhh
I'm reading this now and it is just one of those novels you just snuggle up with and just immerse yourself in.
This book is so good I just finished last night!!!! INSANE!
First book that I've read in years. Loved it.
So sweet!!!
For me she is Kya!
You can still see the youth in her face!
I just finished the book and just wanted to know who D. O. Is
Now the book is more completed after seeing her.
Thank you!
Truly one of best books ever written!!! I am avid reader and this one has never left my soul!! One word-- EPIC☺️🙏
So glad to see & hear the woman who wrote it the book! I could not put it down & luved it. Best book on I've read in a long time & I'm 71! I just saw the movie & luved it too & I'll probably read it again. I finished the book & made some cornbread & blackeye peas..I luved her survival skills ❤️❤️❤️
One of the best movies I have ever seen, that's why I'm here.
"Mad as a mule chewing on bumblebees."
leni lenape omg yes, the idioms were RICH
She's so humble and sweet ❤
WOWWWW Truly amazing how she excavated excerpts of the isolation of her life to write a 6 weeks Bestseller! Love it! Best hopes and much joy for her❣
Haven't read the book but what a wonderful human being she is!💜
Absolutely loved the book. Read it in two days!
such an inspiring book and author. read it in one session, touched me deeply.
Amazing book! I absolutely loved it. Everyone needs to read this book!!
Such an amazing and humble woman
This book is definitely a must read.
Ok, I am hooked. Going to get this one to read for myself. Thank you, Lee. Love your stories. 😍😎😉

Just finished the book. Best book I ever read. I only read it in one day... As much as I love Harry Potter it took me 3 days to read Harry Potter this book totally captivated me. I fell so in love with kaya that I too am a poet and I wrote a poem about her. I'm so excited about the movie but I was really wishing that Reese Witherspoon was going to be acting in the role of kya. This book will have you laughing, crying, getting mad, and just plain wanting to beat someone up but you will definitely agree that this book is definitely worth reading.
I used to write what I thought would be a brilliant book in the middle of the night. Then I’d wake up and be like 🧐 what was I thinking
Thank You Lee
Great story!
Thank you for such a great novel.
Amazing writer and amazing book!💚
This book has changed me forever
Well written,telling a compelling story.
This book is up there with my faves: sharp objects, girl on the train, love saves the day... drifting between hurt and pain, however, always a happy story too. How does she do it?
It's such a good book. It's definitely going to be a classic hundreds of years from now.
omggggg....can't wait for the MOVIE!!! The book was AMAZINGGGG
After the trial it all went too fast....I wanted 300 more pages....
perhaps a 'crawdads 2' where someone finds one of Kya's diaries or some old letters....
what happen to the older sisters and brother....
I loved this slow swampy tale....
I loved this book.
I enjoyed and recommend "Where the Crawdads Sing." I had to take breaks from it, my reactions were strong.
Ohhh, I had no idea about her...❤️
Beautiful lady!!!
Don t make notices in the night, speak voicemails.
And you will all understand 😉🙃
Love that Book! When Kya died I really lost a few tears!!!
Amazing Story !!!
That woman is a national treasure.
She‘s not, she has a very controversial and murderous past. Look it up
Fantastic book I couldn’t put it down
One of the best books I have read. And I am an avid reader
what a lovlely lady, fitting for the lovely story she wrote
They’re shooting the movie right now as I’m typing. Omg I can’t wait!!
Finished this book in a day and a half , I could not put it down
Big fan going back to the Africa books. Whoa. So glad she is still producing
Thebook isstunning i been reading it for three daysand mostlyat nights.
Look forward to seeing the film being released now --- fascinating interview!
I’m still trying to forgive her for the ending..
Emily Ashton omg, wasn’t that ending both absolutely beautiful and devastating at the same time?
Forgive her? For what?
@@Hereforthecommentsection From what I see here, the ending is the best prt. can I start there? Lol Hopefully i will get there.
@@Hereforthecommentsection Thank you for your encouragement not to give up. I just finished the book 10 minutes ago. Yay! Read it all this weekend. I loved it!! There's so much to say about it . I will definitely leave a review not just a rating.
She had me in tears at the end
The beat ever !
Loved this book.
She's absolutely adorable
This book is a masterpiece
"This little piggie stays"

Awsome book,I really enjoyed it
Great movie.
There are so few good books these days. And virtually no great ones. This one is outstanding.
Very good book
She grew up in the same town that I was born and grew up in. Thomasville Ga. The city of Roses, about 35 miles from Tallahassee Florida.
Living the dream🙏
I am tryig so hard to like this book. I just don't want to give up on it.I've read one third. But I get lost in the nature descriptions and unnecessary meal descriptions. Both. Wish me luck to finish it.
I have a copy of the book can't wait to read it
Movieeeeee so exciting
This book.....omg. This book. I’m on chapter 5. I am kya all grown up. Delia Owens please. See this.
