Found this book at random and very glad I did. A colorful vivid exploration of the shore/swamp life in historic America, a woman with intelligence far beyond the imagination of her judgemental town-dwellers... and a murder. I couldn't put it down, inside the mind of someone misunderstood and craving what every human craves... I guess I could relate in ways. It is very human, and thus holds cruelty. Especially towards the unknown. But the plot resolves itself in a believable and satisfying way. My favorite aspect of the story was the way in which our main character felt and described her feelings vividly.
