A review by macyr
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

5.0

the fact that I loved this book, the fact that Lucy Ellmann wrote one of the most memorable narrators of the 21st century, the fact that it's just crazee, the book I mean, not the narrator, the fact that the narrator does think she's broken, the fact that I think we're all broken, at least in this country, the fact that the internet broke us, the fact that there's too many facts and even more alternative facts, and even more guns, the fact that the narrator just doesn't think Aurora Borealis is worth all the fuss, the fact that the lioness sequences just about break your heart, the fact that I'm broken, the fact that broken housewives in Ohio are just as important as broken young men in uni or whatever, the fact that not everyone thinks so, the fact that Lucy Ellmann does, and that has made all the difference, the fact that this book will either be a success or a failure, the fact that I think it's a roaring success,
