From the best-selling novel comes a captivating mystery. Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh.
Where the Crawdads Sing stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) as “Kya Clark,” Taylor John Smith (Sharp Objects) as “Tate Walker,” Harris Dickinson (The King’s Man) as “Chase Andrews,” Michael Hyatt (Snowfall) as “Mabel,” Sterling Macer, Jr. (Double Down) as “Jumpin’,” and David Strathairn (Nomadland) as “Tom Milton.” Olivia Newman (First Match) directs the screenplay by Lucy Alibar (Beasts of the Southern Wild) based upon the novel by Delia Owens. The 3000 Pictures film is being produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter.

I absolutely LOVE Reese Witherspoon's ability to recognize excellent fiction and her passion for encouraging reading.

[@meiagal]

How can you not love Daisy!? So humble! Can’t wait to see more of her work!

OMG, Daisey did a phenomenal job. Can’t wait to see what she does next. I have to see anything that Reese is involved in. Taylor Swift is the most talented vocalist, songwriter, musician and storyteller that the world has ever seen. Of course, she nailed Carolina. I feel like I’m there every time I hear it. The director fkin killed this. I love it. Great job by Taylor and the whole cast. Thank you Delia and everyone…Bravo 👏👏👏

[@hannahbobanana1561]

Just finished re-reading the book for the second time. You can tell they all loved the book and are clearly passionate about it. I cannot wait to see this movie!!

[@katrinam625]

Read the book and just saw the movie...AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!! Olivia Newman created a stellar adaptation of Delia Owen's novel. This is how I envisioned the marsh, Barkley Cove and the characters. Thank you Reese Witherspoon for producing this beautiful movie. It captured scenes from the book and translated it to film so beautifully.

[@nancy7447]

Best movie I have ever seen. The book was fantastic too. After reading it, I wondered who would make it into a movie ! Loved it so much.

[@iJamieM]

Between Taylor, Reese and Daisy, I’m so excited to finally see this movie!!

[@reesewitherspoon3717]

Thanks for your unwavering love and support 😘 😘

[@carrolllaswell1724]

David Strathaim as Tom Minton was my favorite character. His appearances before the trial makes him seem more real.

[@sevdehaner]

I've just finished the book and I just fell in love with it because of the setting, how it was described and how Kya fit into that life. It was survival for her but Kya was as if she was born to be part of the mother nature. So incredible!!!

[@a.caution.hairy.tail.]

It's one of my favorite books and Reese is brilliant so it has to be good. It just occurred to me that Water for Elephants is also in my top 10 books and she was in that also and brought it to life.

I saw it and worth watching and it remind me the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes” which is absolutely one of my memorable movies❤

That film is one of my favourites too. In the UK it had a longer title “ Fried Green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe!!”

I saw the movie two days ago and I like it. Btw, I thought Taylor looks like Armie Hammer and Daisy looks like Anne Hathaway. Hope to see them in new movies soon.

I'm reading this book right now recommended to me by a Costco member. I was browsing books to read since I haven't read a book in years and this lady recommended this book. I so far I'm bored to tears. I hope that I can finish this book and enjoy it as much as everybody else is or has!

[@Tess321]

Oh wow! I was immediately hooked! I know you said you hadn’t read in a while but what kind of books do you usually get into? I think if you stick this one out you’ll really love it🙂

[@antomanru3133]

It reminds me of Little House on Praire, Melisa Gilbert's Laura Ingals, in terms of simpleness, inner youngness, but difference with loneliness, mature life and romance. The rest is creation of Ms Witherspoon in taste of unique romance and love seeking.

[@tatatory627]

I wanted to hear how people loved it and read what people loved about the book. I’m shocked at how beloved it was. It did seem like a love letter to the scenery which makes sense given the author is a conservationist. I loved the pacing of the book and was definitely engaged and read it quickly but I couldn’t stand how the author info dumped so much. She (the author) would “yadaya” through huge plot points and randomly become omniscient. She also just killed off like SO MANY people right in the end without much effect. I thought she missed the opportunity to talk about the natural decay and life of a marsh when she killed them off at least. Idk I was disappointed. Plus like the other author scandal things which I didn’t know when I started the book…

Hi how are you doing

[@texcat0260]

I loved the book and characters. One thing I didn't like was the ending.

[@debravowell8337]

Book ❤

[@blugreencamel]

Only thing that got to me is that they didn’t tan Daisy. Her skin was too pale for the environment she lived in and she is a wild character meaning she is exposed to the sun daily it doesn’t make sense for her to have pale skin. Her acting was on point !

[@theresastone5160]

Sounds like to kill a mockingbird type vibes deep southern fried murder mystery

[@reemdeemed4460]

Reese needs to be reminded that it’s rude to sit with your back to someone.

She was rude/condescending towards Daisy the whole time🙄

Am about halfway through the book..the first third of the book was boring.....same things over and over.....now, its finally getting good....she spent more time on the marshes and bugs than she needed......after seeing this.....i wonder if this book is about her but she isnt telling.......she says she gets really lonely.......so did Kyra.....

[@الهرالسعيد]

السلام عليكم

[@dr.tamaraworley6174]

Loved this ❤️ movie 🎬!!!! Would appreciate them utilizing REAL WOMEN in the lead roles. It pulls focus to have crow magnum can opener jaws, eyebrow ridges, Adam's apples 🍎, traceal shave, and sasquatch feet. Movies need equal opportunity 4 the DNA of humans. Masculine males that are rugged are what real women want to see, not men who r more women than I will ever be......🤮

[@dashrathsingh5162]

Hi dasiy do ki Kya free ho .

[@rachelrascon]

the movie was a disappointment… the romantic scenes were super cringey. the movie was set around her being on trial instead of just telling her story. idk , it kinda flopped but oh well . 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lukelee3]

She got back with the guy who abandoned her, that's pathetic. Isn't that a diss to women, they can't be alone and needs a man? Lol. Movie was mehh, didn't read the book.

[@warmcozy]

Well, she was isolated and not well socialized which limited her options for human connection. Even so, Tate had to do a lot to get her to even talk to him after he came back. She rejected him after he returned and it was a long time and lots of effort by Tate for them to get back together. That and she had been through jail and the public humiliation of being accused of murder, and Tate was consistently there for her through all of it without expecting anything in return. Looking at how things unfolded with them, I’d say it ended up OK.

[@lukelee3]

@@warmcozy still pathetic, kaya got money after publishing her book and traveling more. so she had many chances. It's More like an auto biography by the author, she feels lonely now in her 70s and will settle for any abuser and she and her ex husband "morally" murdered a poacher in Zambia, like in the book.

[@warmcozy]

@@lukelee3 Kaya most likely didn’t perceive she had the chances you say she did, and her self-esteem had taken quite a few disastrous hits before she and Tate got back together. I’ve found that well socialized people often have no concept of the lives of those living in isolating circumstances and judge them harshly and incorrectly due to lack of understanding as I believe you’re doing here.

[@reesewitherspoon3717]

Thanks for your unwavering love and support 😘 😘
