A review by cameronwaller
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

5.0

If in the future someone asks me what it was like to live through these modern times, I will simply place this thick tome in their outstretched palms, plant a light loving kiss atop their forehead, and bid them go ... *whisper* be well.

To have had something as consistent as Ducks, Newburyport to accompany me through the incredibly inconsistent summer of 2020 was a true blessing. I'm left feeling quite sad that I must now leave this book and this narrator in the past. By the end I felt as though my biometrics had fused to the rhythms of the prose. Simply put: I loved this book. A once in a lifetime reading experience.
