Explanation and Analysis:

The novel takes place in the coastal lowland marshes of North Carolina, beginning in the 1950s and moving into the 1970s. The book’s physical environment is remote, and it often feels like the marsh and swamp stretch on forever, cutting off Kya and her town from the rest of the world.
