Recensioner

I picked this book up on a whim and I was so pleasantly surprised. If the beautiful descriptions of the marsh landscapes don't draw you in then the courtroom drama definitely will. It is an inspiring coming-of-age story intertwined with a nail-biting murder mystery. The heavy themes of loving nature made this an even more fun read as it felt like I was exploring the marsh with Kya.

Kurze Inhaltsangabe
Chase Andrews stirbt, und die Bewohner der ruhigen Küstenstadt Barkley Cove sind sich einig: Schuld ist das Marschmädchen. Kya Clark lebt isoliert im Marschland mit seinen Salzwiesen und Sandbänken. Sie kennt jeden Stein und Seevogel, jede Muschel und Pflanze. Als zwei junge Männer auf die wilde Schöne aufmerksam werden, öffnet Kya sich einem neuen Leben – mit dramatischen Folgen. Delia Owens erzählt intensiv und atmosphärisch davon, dass wir für immer die Kinder bleiben, die wir einmal waren. Und den Geheimnissen und der Gewalt der Natur nichts entgegensetzen können.
