A review by djr100
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

4.0

Don't let the length of this book or it's style keep you from reading it. As I started the book, I questioned whether I wanted to give this the effort and was tempted to throw this into the DNF category. I kept at it and 100 pages in started to get into the rhythm of the stream of conscious delivery used to tell the story. There are no periods used in for about 95% of this book (only in the imbedded sub-story about a lioness and her cubs that gets told throughout). Once I got into Ellman's "cadence" I found myself really enjoying this.
