Where the Crawdads Sing

In May, we read Delia Owens' novel Where the Crawdads Sing.  Our group celebrated Delia Owens for the story of Kya living in the Southern marshes off the North Carolina coast.  Albeit the story is at times hard to believe.  How does Kya survive alone in the wilds?  How does she escape going to school and how does she actually carry out the major (spoiler alert) crime, given the fact that she is not a frequent traveller.  Also, we love that she became successful, but is this plausible?  That and other questions were tossed about at our book discussion.  Mindy had done a bit of research and enriched our discussion with some background information about the author and her intention to write a novel about living in isolation.



For June, we are planning to read An American Marriage by Tayari Jones.  We are planning on Tim's house on June 4 at 6:45.
