For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village. Kya Clark is barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 1969, when the popular Chase Andrews is found dead, locals immediately suspect her.
But Kya is not what they say. A born naturalist with just one day of school, she takes life’s lessons from the land, learning the real ways of the world from the dishonest signals of fireflies. But while she has the skills to live in solitude forever, the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. Drawn to two young men from town, who are each intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world—until the unthinkable happens.
This was big hitter this year for me and so it had to be included, not only for the amazing cover but also for the brilliant story. I haven’t seen the film yet… I may treat myself to a movie night tonight as mike is out for his Christmas do… Ill be crocheting this beauty too of course!
I really hope most of you guessed this one as its a pretty unique mix of colours! Beautiful ivory throught to coral and baby pink with some lilac then into the beautiful sea green blues… with the essential pop of lime green! Its just scrumptious!
Scroll all the way down for the day 20 pattern spoiler!
