Southern Living: The New Southern Novel
“The New Southern Novel
The lyrical debut novel of writer Delia Owens (who grew up among the pines in Thomasville, Georgia, and has since traveled the globe) is a mystery steeped in the natural world. It follows a young girl named Kya Clark, who is abandoned in the marshes along the North Carolina coast and learns to survive there on her own until outside forces encroach.”
Calling CRAWDADS "the new southern novel," Southern Living has included it in their list of "6 Books All Your Friends Are Reading" for August. Thank you, Southern Living!
