Poignant, haunting, thoughtful. Very good read - images of Where the Crawdads Sing. Set in the Trace of a Mississippi swamp in the early 1920's. Deep south. Racism, bootlegging run rampant. Two girls forge a type of friendship in order to survive the hardships of life in their physical environment and the hardships of family and the times.
