Where the Crawdads Sing

A friend of mine recommended the book to me. Not a story I'd have picked by myself. It was on my shelf for almost a year before I started to read it. I should have started it way earlier. This is a book that made me happy. The story is captivating. A coming of age story, a love story, a thriller, a way of life unimaginable for the most of us. I got pulled in the story and couldn't put it away. I admired how sensitive the story is being told by the author. The thrill, the heartbeat, the rooting for the woman. Won't include anything that could give away the story line. Just let me say that at no point I could have guessed the outcome. After some time has passed I will watch the movie. So far, I heard good things about it.
