Steinbeck is my favorite author, I love historical fiction, and I’m looking for another book along the same lines of “Where the Crawdads Sing.” I was raised in the American South and love art, science and nature. WTCS really resonated with me for the biology-rich descriptions of flora, fauna and weather and the way of life in The South. I was much less invested in the story and the murder than I was just going about Kya’s day to day. I have ordered Owens’ “Cry of the Kalahari.” Thanks, book friends!

More focused on flora than fauna, but The Overstory by Richard Powers is a great novel and is based around nature/the natural world, specifically trees.
One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow. IMO it was way better than Where the Crawdads Sing.
