Review by Robert McCool
The book's title is all the introduction it needs. Anything more would be superfluous.
I waited over a year for this book to become available at my local library. There's a reason for that. It's that much in demand. Rightfully so.
There are books that are so perfect that I feel my ability to comment on them is inadequate to do them justice. “WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING” (Random House, IBSN 978-1-9848-2761-6) by Delia Owens, is such a book, a book about isolation and loneliness.
