Kya'nın Şarkı Söylediği Yer by Delia Owens
HOW WELL CAN YOU PROTECT YOUR HEART?
For years, rumors circulated in Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast, about the "Swamp Girl." So when the handsome Chase Andrews was found dead in late 1969, the townspeople immediately suspected Kya Clark, whom they called "The Swamp Girl."
But Kya is not who they describe. Sensitive and intelligent, Kya has survived alone for years in her swamp home, befriending seagulls and learning lessons from the sand. Years later, Kya reaches a point where she longs to be touched and loved. Kya's wild beauty catches the eye of two young men from town, and she opens herself to a new life, until something unimaginable happens.
A perfect novel for fans of Barbara Kingsler and Karen Russell, Where Kya Sang is a delightful tribute to the natural world, a poignant coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of a possible murder.
Owens reminds us that the child we once were shapes us forever, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and wild secrets of nature.
“In this book, Owens examines the desolate swampy landscapes of the North Carolina coast through the eyes of an abandoned child. And within his isolation, this child allows us to open our eyes to the hidden wonders—and dangers—of his private world.”
