I liked the book. Daisy Edgar-Jones is fine, but I didn't expect a girl who lived alone in a swamp to be so pale and well-coiffed, and I don't think I ever got over it.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting dual timeline weaves between Kya's solitary, tender growth in the marshland and a courtroom reckoning that threatens to destroy her. It's a mystery that unfolds as much through quiet observation of nature as through legal drama.
