A review by sophierayton
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

3.0

It's taken about a year for me to get through this with lots of stopping and starting. I have a signed hardcover copy of this book from when I met the author at a Booker event, I also borrowed the ebook from the library then bought the ebook on my kindle and finally bought the audiobook to have it done quicker. I've invested so much time, money and energy into this book and having also met the author I really wanted to LOVE IT, but that 'click' moment never came for me. I'm glad it's done but if I could go back I'd tell my younger self to give it a miss and she'd probably say that a thousand pages of internal dialogue doesn't scare her and proceed to read it anyway. Ducks, Newburyport...
