Summary of Where the Crawdads Sing
It's about a girl name, Kya, She lives in the Marsh. At the beginning of the story, her mom leaves and she just sits on the porch thinking she will come back but she never does. She learned how to cook mussels and grits. Her father drinks a lot. When her mother lived with them he beat her. When her father was off doing other stuff she took his boat through the marsh. When her dad went to the casino Kya took the boat and saw the boy, her brother used to play with when she was little. His name was Tate. They didn’t really talk but they leave gifts for each other. Kya collects feathers from different birds, so she had a very special one (I don’t remember what the bird was) and she left it there on a trunk for him. Tate left her flour and stuff for her cooking, and he also left her a note. What did it say? Kya didn’t know because she couldn’t read. After trading for a couple of weeks, they finally meet in person. And she said something about not being able to read and from then on out Tate was going to teach Kya how to read. They fell in love and when he went off to college she missed him. (And I’m sure, Tate missed her too) He said that as soon as he got back he would come and see her but, he never did. She never wanted to talk to Tate again. One day when she was sitting on the beach when Chase Andrews come and set by her asking if they could go to lunch, and she said yes. (She wasn’t straight out YES because she didn’t want to get heartbroken again). They go to lunch and when they met up she brought along a necklace for him. The book doesn’t say what happened or how or why he got hurt. (I shall say no more). But some boys found him faced down, and dead. The police investigate but find only a red piece of wool and the gate opens. But he was not wearing the necklace that he always weres and never took off. But he wasn’t on him. Kya has to go to trials and ends up not being found guilty. Kya and Tate get married and live a happy life. When Kya dies, Tate goes through some of her stuff. And guess what he found?! The necklace that the police were looking for. The necklace that Chase never took off. Did Tate take it to the police? Nope! What’s the point because she’s died so, he just threw it into the fireplace.
