What year did you read "Where the Crawdads Sing"?

 

In 2019, Muggle. This is my comment from then 😊

 

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

 

A simply wonderful book, beautifully and lyrically written. Is now one of my very top favourites of all time. It is up there with To Kill A Mockingbird, in my estimation. I very rarely give a book a five star rating, but this is one of them. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you very much to Muggle for his insistence that I read this (he's never been wrong so far :)).
