A review by whosthisrachel
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann
2.0
I very nearly stopped reading this a number times, but was spurred on by all the rave reviews. Wish I had trusted my gut.
Turns out all I got from listening to the ramblings of a (surprisingly knowledgeable) Ohio housewife’s brain was a feeling of overwhelm and increased anxiety.
I KNOW it’s supposed to be an indictment on Americas/ the worlds failures as a species, but in the end I just didn’t care because I was too annoyed with all the lists and needlessly descriptive depictions of murders which I found jarring when she had just been thinking about cinnamon rolls.
Not for me.
