"Peeling apples for tartes tatin, an Ohio mother wonders how to exist in a world of distraction and fake facts, besieged by a tweet-happy president and trigger-happy neighbors, all of them oblivious to what Dupont has dumped into the rivers and what's happening at the factory farm down the interstate--not to mention what was done to the land's first inhabitants. A torrent of consciousness, narrated in a single sentence by a woman whose wandering thoughts are as comfortably familiar as they are heartrendingly honest, Ducks, Newburyport is a fearless indictment of our contemporary moment."-- Provided by publisher.

Good, but... long. submitted by steeny17 on July 24, 2020, 8:57am I was entranced by her writing style and the way that the human mind is captured in this novel! It is beautiful and funny and sometimes gross or frustrating, and the fact that I felt all that without plot or punctuation is pretty incredible.

On the other hand, there is only so much I can read without knowing where I'm going. 1000 pages was too long for me.

Worth picking up and at least trying, though.
