Wuh. Better than a four-star, I think, but I couldn’t quite go to 5. Really really well done memoir, all the good, bad, and in between of a woman’s experience in the middle aughts. Compelling and emotional and real. Also vaguely humourous in spots, creating an almost surprisingly unheavy, readable flow. Highly recommend!

janada59's review against another edition

Ducks was a heartbreaking, infuriating, and devastating look at the experience of a young woman in the male-dominated oils sands of northern Alberta. Katie as a character was not my favourite part of the book - I just had a hard time connecting to her - but her story and her experiences resonated with me. This book sheds a spotlight on the problems with corporate greed, environmental devastation and toxic masculinity in a way that will stay with me for a long time.
