Where the Crawdads Sing

After being abandoned by her family, a young woman grows up alone in the marshes near a small town, learning to survive and build an independent life. When a former boyfriend is found dead, local prejudice and suspicion turn her into the prime suspect, leading to a tense courtroom struggle.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like emotional romances, courtroom drama, and atmospheric mysteries with resilient outsiders; Not for you if you want a fast, tightly plotted thriller or minimal melodrama.
