Poignant, haunting, thoughtful. Very good read - images of Where the Crawdads Sing. Set in the Trace of a Mississippi swamp in the early 1920's. Deep south. Racism, bootlegging run rampant. Two girls forge a type of friendship in order to survive the hardships of life in their physical environment and the hardships of family and the times.

Highly recommended book to me. I enjoyed reading the story. Always love relationship story between friends, although this did not start out as one, and took the whole book to truly make them understand what they had was only each other. Took place in the 1920's, Mississippi. Two poor girls, one black, one white, both abused from dysfunctional family relationships. Emotionally exhausting, but well worth the read!

This is an enchanting debut novel about two teenage girls, one white, one black that are dealing with cruelty, poverty and racism in 1920's Mississippi. The characters are so well developed and the story flows so smoothly that you have to keep turning the pages because you desperately want to find out what happens.

A trip back in time, 100 years to be exact. To a place that is certainly no longer there. Two young girls, one white, one black, and the way they save each others lives. Well written.
