#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON—NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!
More than 18 million copies sold worldwide
A Reese’s Book Club Pick
A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade
“I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end!”—Reese Witherspoon
“Painfully beautiful.”—The New York Times Book Review
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.
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.

In this autobiograophy, comedian Trevor Noah tells an endearing story about his childhood in Apartheid South-Africa. Born to a black mother and a white father, he feels he is 'born a crime' in a country in which segregation is not only daily life but also legally enforced. Trevor takes us on a journey through his early life, telling stories about his strict grandmother, his dance-crew in highschool and ultimately his departure from South-Africa. "Born a Crime" is a deeply personal questioning of identity, somethimes tear-jerkingly funny, sometimes tear-jerkingly moving. A book that feels like talking to a good friend.
A wonderful book

When I recently saw the film based on this book on TV, I was very impressed. That's when I decided to read the novel. And now that I've read the novel, I'm even more impressed by this book than by the film. I feel a connection with the novel's heroine Kya, with her life in the swamps, with her fate, with her struggle and how she, as a leper, also faces prejudice. I feel the weather, I feel the people, even if most of them are not well disposed towards Kya. I am captivated by what the author has put on paper here, it has wrapped me up, I don't want to leave. It was and will be a brilliant book when I read it again and again.
