-“Ahh swanee,girl!What’s a’ this?Looks like ya went an’ got all growed up.Cookin’ and all.” -“Yessir.I fixed cornbread too,but it didn”t come out.” “Well,ah thankee.That”s a mighty good girl.Ah’m plumb wore out and hungry as a wallow-hog.” …. -“Can I go out fishin’ with ya sometime?” -“So ya wanta go fishin’?” -“Yessir I do.” -“you’re a girl.” -“yessir,I’am your girl.” -“Well,Ah might could take ya out sometime.” that was the first time when Kya’s dad talked with her while eating dinner.Ever since she was born,her mother and brothers being beaten by her father became a regular routine.Her father was a victim of the II World War and thus her family became a victim of him. The story began in 1952 following the daily lives of Kya,a six years old girl,whose mother left home in the same year,following her,her elder brothers and sisters also left,leaving her alone in home,an old house in marsh disconnected from city and society,to escape the inhuman torture of her father.Her father was out home almost all the time playing poker and after some year,he didn’t come home anymore.She became all alone in a gigantic marsh.But despite her family left her,nature took her as a child,she grew older under her shadow. Though she can’t read,can’t count upto 29,she became a marsh specialist,knowing a to z about marsh,insects,gulls,tides…She was disconnected from society,she became friendlier with the saleswoman,with Jumpings who sold her oil for her boat and other necessaries,she had a bunch of well wishers,specially Tate,her first love,who taught her the basics about how to read,write. The story progressed in two different timelines.When one was 1952,other was 1969,where Chase Andrew,a rich young of Kya’s age was dead.As the story advances in the timeline of ’52,a little thread of connection became larger,coming to a jaw breaking end,connecting both times perfectly from tip to toe. “You came again, Blinding my eyes Like the shimmer of sun upon the sea. Just as I feel free The moon casts your face upon the sill. Each time I forget you Your eyes haunt my heart and it falls still. And so farewell Until the next time you come Until at last I do not see you.” Where the Crawdads Sing is a 2018 novel by American author Delia Owens.
