Where the Crawdads Sing<\/em>\ntells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in\nthe dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the \u201cMarsh\nGirl\u201d haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her\ncommunity. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and\nstartling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by\nthe community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what\nactually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many\nsecrets that lay within the marsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This novel by Delia Owens is produced by Reese Witherspoon – Academy\nAward-winning actress and a powerhouse producer of Hello Sunshine. \u201cI read the\nnovel in one day. I just couldn\u2019t put it down, I fell in love with Kya as the\nmain character, as a little girl who\u2019s growing up in a very rural area, shunned\nby society and trying to find a way to just save herself, just survive. The\nexperiences she has with the two men in her life are both so touching but also\nterrifying,\u201d says Witherspoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The gripping narrative of the\nbook got Taylor Swift inspired to write and perform an original song for the\nfilm. Swift used instruments from the era of the film\u2019s setting in creating the\nsong. \u201cWhere The Crawdads Sing <\/em>is a book that I got absolutely lost\nin when I read it years ago, I wrote the song \u2018Carolina\u2019 as I wanted to create\nsomething haunting and ethereal to match this mesmerizing story,\u201d says Swift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same song was performed by\nsongstress and entrepreneur Layla Kardan live at the UAE premiere of Where\nthe Crawdads Sing<\/em> at Reel Cinemas Dubai Mall.
