Summary

Experts have mixed opinions on "Where the Crawdads Sing", a film adaptation of the novel by Delia Owens. The film follows Kya, a girl who lives in the marshes of North Carolina, and is accused of murder. Some experts praise the film's faithful and soothing portrayal of the novel's romance, mystery, and nature themes, and the performance of Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kya.

Brian Lowry

Experts say "Where the Crawdads Sing" is a sweeping adaptation of the bestselling novel that features a star-making performance by Daisy Edgar-Jones as Kya, a young girl who survives alone in the marshes of North Carolina. The film blends romance, mystery, and courtroom drama, with a satisfying twist at the end. However, it also has a dated and melodramatic feel that might not appeal to everyone, and its theatrical release seems risky in the current market.

Siddhant Adlakha

Experts say Where The Crawdads Sing is a disappointing adaptation of Delia Owens' novel, that fails to explore the ethical and social implications of its murder mystery plot. The film is a bland and boring biopic of a fictional recluse, played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, who is accused of killing a popular football star. The film wastes its potential to draw on the controversial real-life background of the author, who is wanted for questioning in a televised killing in Zambia. The film is a mechanical period romance sandwiched between a dimensionless legal drama, that is only mildly interesting if you know the accusations against its author.

A.O. Scott

Experts say "Where the Crawdads Sing" is a tame adaptation of Delia Owens's popular novel that follows the life and trial of a wild heroine in the marshes of North Carolina. The film, directed by Olivia Newman and written by Lucy Alibar, is a blend of romance, mystery, and nature, with a detached and soothing tone. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Kya, the marsh girl, who attracts the attention of two young men and is accused of murder. The film is faithful to the book's themes and tone, but lacks historical and social context.

Experts say Where the Crawdads Sing is a lush and captivating debut novel by wildlife scientist Delia Owens. It tells the story of Kya Clark, a girl who grows up alone in the swamps of North Carolina, learning from nature and finding love and danger. The novel combines a coming-of-age romance with a murder mystery, exploring themes of social and racial division, environmental protection, and survival. The novel is rich in detail and atmosphere, drawing on the author's scientific knowledge and personal experience.

Description

A beautiful, deluxe edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller--with over 4 million copies sold--that will make the perfect holiday gift or treat for yourself. A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick "I can't even express how much I love this book I didn't want this story to end "--Reese Witherspoon At once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder, Where the Crawdads Sing has touched the hearts of millions of readers around the world, and this beautiful deluxe edition features: - new, personal note from the author - updated linen jacket with foil - foil-stamped case with cloth spine - four-color endpapers - premium interior stock - four-color map and newly colored interior illustrations For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens. Through Kya's story, Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
