The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 12 million copies sold, "a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature" (The New York Times Book Review).
For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.
Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Delia Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

Me perdí un poco en la trama porque no se mucho sobre la mitología griega pero me gustó mucho y me entretuve mucho. La historia me parece llena de vida y linda.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is a historical fantasy novel inspired by Greek mythology, particularly the story of Achilles and the Trojan War. The novel is narrated by Patroclus, who tells the story of his life, his friendship with Achilles, and their journey during one of the most famous wars in Greek mythology.
What makes the book especially interesting is the way Miller brings ancient Greek mythology to life. The characters are written with great depth, and Achilles is shown not simply as a legendary warrior but as a person with ambitions, fears, and emotions. Patroclus also develops significantly throughout the story, making the reader feel connected to his experiences.
The descriptions of ancient Greece, the training of warriors, and the events surrounding the Trojan War create a vivid atmosphere. Miller's writing is beautiful and often poetic, although some parts of the novel can feel slow because of the detailed descriptions.
One of the strongest aspects of the book is its emotional storytelling. It explores themes such as friendship, loyalty, honour, fate, and the consequences of war. The ending is particularly powerful and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.
Overall, The Song of Achilles is a beautifully written and emotionally engaging retelling of Greek mythology. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy mythology, historical fiction, and character-driven stories. Rating: 4.5/5.
