Ducks

Herregud, så god. Noko av det beste eg har lest i år.

Boka er ikkje perfekt lagt ut, verken historiemessig eller omforming, men alt byggjar opp sjarmen og kvardagslegskapen til Ducks.

Eg plukka denne boka opp heilt tilfeldig på bokbutikken. Den var tjukk, såg interessant ut, og var ikkje for dyr. Eg har ei lang liste folk eg har lust å anbefale denne til.

I've long been a fan of Kate Beaton's work (King Baby was one of my favorite books we read to my kid when he was a baby!), but I wasn't prepared for the emotional impact of Ducks. The wry humor in the slice of life portions were a great foundation for the deeper impacts of life at the camps, and Beaton imbues everyone with such humanity that I felt for everyone even though the impact of the work down at the sands is so horrific.
