Summary:

Baking a multitude of tartes tatin for local restaurants, an Ohio housewife contemplates her four kids, husband,

cats and chickens. Also, Americas ignoble past, and her own regrets. She is surrounded by dead lakes, fake facts, Open

Carry maniacs, and oodles of online advice about survivalism, veil toss duties, and how to be more like Jane Fonda.

But what do you do when you keep stepping on your sons toy tractors, your life depends on stolen land and broken

treaties, and nobody helps you when you get a flat tire on the interstate, not even the Abominable Snowman? When

are you allowed to start swearing?

With a torrent of consciousness and an intoxicating coziness, Ducks, Newburyport lays out a whole world for you

to tramp around in, by turns frightening and funny. A heart-rending indictment of Americas barbarity, and a lament

for the way we are blundering into environmental disaster, this book is both heresyand a revolution in the novel.
