Explanation:
In the “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens, Kya, also known as the “Marsh Girl,” is abandoned by her family at a young age and grows up alone in the marshes of North Carolina. The book spans several decades of Kya’s life, from her childhood to adulthood, but her exact age is not explicitly mentioned. However, she is estimated to be around six years old when the story begins and likely in her late twenties or early thirties by the time the events of the novel unfold.
