I KnowWhere the Crawdads Sing

I watched this at the cinema just a few weeks ago and I hardly remember a thing about it.

We are all different, and that is good. But anyone could watch it and not remember, seems so bizarre to me. Ah well...

Awful, boring film. So glad I’ve not read the book.

I read the book, really good, would love to see the film.

Seen the film and enjoyed it. Will now read the book.

I wouldn’t worry about it 😄 I sometimes forget what I had for dinner the night before 😱
Considering how ill you’ve been it’s lovely that your out and about 😊

I've just finished one of her other books called The wicked sister couldn't put it down it was sooo good. Only problem for me was I read just before going to sleep, not a good time to read this book as it was a horror! I would never read a horror book or watch a horror film, but once I'd started reading, I couldn't put it down. I'm now reading the 'silent patient, that my DD gave me, halfway through so need a recommendation for my next, think I've read most of the author of 'crowdads'.

Sorry to hear you’ve been ill grannyactivist. Just love your username.

Luckygirl such a lovely write up by you, you could probably do a good book yourself!
A beautifully written book, it’s always a treat to find a decent read. I’m always nervous of watching a movie after that. So think I will pass.

Thank you MerylStreep and Farzanah - I’ve actually been poorly for the almost three weeks now, but I got up and dressed this morning, so things are moving in the right direction. 🥳 (Though I did fall asleep for the whole afternoon!)

My memory has great holes in it ever since I had my first episode of amnesia and I’m unable to read a book at the moment because I keep forgetting what I’ve read. 🤪

I really enjoyed the book and watched the movie with reservations, because so much about the book I enjoyed was the descriptions about the setting.

The movie did not disappoint me though. It was beautifully filmed, and to me it captured the essence of the book.

I wonder if you’re confusing the author of Where the Crawdads sing - Delia Owens - with someone else? Her other books are about the Kalahari.

I’m always picking up books in the charity shops that I’ve read.
I’ve more than once seen a nice piece clothing and think ooh, that’s nice then I come to and realise I donated it.
And I haven’t got amnesia to blame 😂
Keep well.

Sarah75 I've got Cry of the Kalahari' It was a great read. I give my books away once I've read and having just moved got rid of lots before moving, so clearly mixed up the authors. 'An Elephant in my kitchen' is another good read by Franciose Malby set in the African bush. I lived in Africa for 6yrs, so love anything like that. Where the Crowdads sing reminded me of the African bush. 'Sunrising' & 'The sun is bright' by Susan Hubert, set in Rhodesia [now Zimbabwe] where I also lived for 2yrs are also a great read.

My husband watched "Where the Crawdads Sing" on the plane going to America. I told him he wouldn't like it as its not his kind of story, but he was engrossed and when it finished he said it was excellent.
I watched Arsenic and old Lace and had a good giggle.

I’ve started the book when I had covid but just couldn’t get into it, after all these recommendations I’m going to have another go.
