Aloneness and nature: “The Song of the Crayfish” is rousing. The book initially takes place in the 1950s: Kya lives in poverty in a small hut with her parents and siblings.
Kya Clark lives isolated in the marshland with its salt marshes and sandbanks. When two young men become aware of the wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life - with dramatic consequences. Delia Owens talks intensely and atmospherically about how we will forever remain the children we once were.
