A review by oliviasbookshop
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

4.0

I’m glad I stuck with this book despite being intimidated - it was an immersive reading experience and once I got used to the stream of consciousness I enjoyed being inside the narrator’s head. This is a heavy read in terms of subject matter, and half the time I didn’t know where the story was going, but it all paid off in the end. An ambitious undertaking by this author and I believe she succeeded in crafting a unique, challenging, timely novel.
