1945年,奇雅誕生於北卡羅來納州沿岸的棚屋中。這片優美溼地見證了她的悲慘身世。一家人忍受著父親的家暴,母親絕望離家,兄姊也紛紛出走,只留奇雅一人與長期酗酒的父親生活。最後父親也走了。她不被鎮上的人接納,更遭同儕孤立,溼地成了逃離這一切的安全港。奇雅靠挖貽貝維生,探索著溼地裡的生態獨自成長。
她成了溼地中最孤獨的生物,更是小鎮居民口中神祕的「沼澤女孩」。奇雅一邊躲避著小鎮不友善的目光,卻又深受一個男孩吸引。熱愛溼地的泰特,如天邊一道光打入她這片陰暗的沼澤地。他教她讀書認字、啟發了她對生物知識的渴求、還給了她珍貴的初戀。
然而,神似乎遺忘了她。
在那片幽深的泥淖中,沼澤正緩緩吞噬著一具屍體,引發全鎮譁然。
這起悲劇徹底粉碎了她的美好花園,令她成為眾矢之的,更將隱居荒野的她拉回了眾人眼前......

عرض الكلIt took me too long to finally get to this book. People talk about how it's sort of a classic in terms of like books you read in high school. I listened to it. The person reading was fantastic. The writing and her voice went really well together. I liked this book. Towards the end I got bored. The towns people were pissing me off. The writing felt a little long winded. The first part of the book about Kya's life was heart breaking, but well written because I was so sad for her and with her. I have yet to watch the movie, so now I can watch it. Otherwise, this was a good read (technically listen).
