Following the business meeting President West and Mrs. Fannie Watson led an interesting group discussion about the novel “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens. It is the story of the coming of age main character Kya Clark who lives in the marshes of North Carolina. It explores themes of loneliness, abandonment, lessons learned from nature while centering on the murder of a young man.
The discussion began with an introduction of the book by Becky Wiggins playing the part of the book’s author Delia Owens. It was a delightfully interesting afternoon enjoyed by all present.
