“The best thing I read this year.” Richard Flanagan

“Ferrante speaks about women and friendship with incredible power.” Gwyneth Paltrow

“Reading Ferrante reminded me of that almost childish excitement to read the next page, that feeling that your eyes have detached from your head, that thought that you never expected books could do this to you!” Elizabeth Strout (Pulitzer Prize)

“Ferrante's writing knows no bounds, it can lead every thought to a groundbreaking result and correspondingly return to its most extreme beginning...” The New Yorker

For years, rumors about the Marsh Girl swirled around Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village in North Carolina. The death of young Chase Andrews made them flare up even more.

When two young men from the village are captivated by her wild beauty, Kya opens up to a new life. But then the unthinkable happens. An ode to the natural world and a heartbreaking coming-of-age story that reminds us how our childhood years define us forever and that human nature carries primal, violent secrets from which no one can escape.

Some female insects eat their mates, mammalian mothers abandon their young due to high stress, many males find risky or cunning ways for their sperm to prevail over their competitors. Nothing is too improper as long as it helps continue the cycle of life. Kya knew this was not some dark side of Nature; it was simply inventive ways to get by when everything is against you. And with humans, the matter certainly went even further."
