About This Item
SIGNED BY AUTHOR on A Book-plate. First Deluxe Edition; First Edition Thus, First Printing; number-line to #1. **UNREAD** (Putnam, 2019)
The Book-Plate is Laid-in. I will attach it for you if you contact me and let me know where you want it attached. It can be a little tricky, but I have lot of practice and get them on straight. (Note: the Book-plate design may vary as these are selling too fast to update photos).
This Deluxe Edition was produced after the enormous popularity of the book commanded more attention. The binding is 10 times better than the original with ¼ Cloth quarter spine and colored illustration inside on the end papers. The pages are of a much higher quality as well. Hardcovers are New (Very Fine) condition, sharp, square corners. Spine is As New.
Dust Jacket is Fine. It should be New Condition, but the publisher has chosen a very fragile foil trimmed jacket. I bought the very best (and I am VERY picky). The jacket will grade as Fine or better. Price is intact and will be placed in a new Mylar cover and Price is intact.
**As always, my books are shipped in a VERY well-padded box and always smoke and odor free. I have a NO DISAPOINTMENT POLICY. I will never send out a book that is improperly described. The quality I state will be as such or better.**
Synopsis
“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. Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. 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.” - from publisher
Reviews
On Jul 24 2021, a reader said:
First of all, I received this book very quickly. Now the book itself is excellent. It was recommended by my Aunt and and Cousin who gushed about the book. I loved this book and understood Reece Witherspoon bought the rights and is making the movie. I cannot wait for the movie. I couldn't put this book down. Read through it in a few days. It's that good!
