The Where The Crawdads Sing Movie Is Great Because Of Its Book Changes
Although Where the Crawdads Sing’s movie adaptation differs from Delia Owen’s 2018 novel, the changes from the book help make it an entertaining film. To adapt a book in a way its author and readers won't hate, filmmakers condense hundreds of pages into a 120-page script balancing staying faithful to the book and creating a compelling film. As novel adaptations go, Where the Crawdads Sing – an exploration of the coming of age of Kya Clark, a young girl abandoned by her family, living in the North Carolina marshlands – is striking for its alignment with its source material.
