Welcome to Litsy!

As you would expect from a book titled with a person's name, this novel is deeply character-based. Even the city of Halifax is a character here. Everyone, including the city, is full of surprises. The story is told in first person chapters that can also be enjoyed as standalone short stories.

I don‘t know about you, but there are days after you‘ve been flipped into the ocean, blown around by a hurricane, and forced to dress in stolen hospital gowns, when you feel some sort of direct and immediate action should be taken.

In May, while reading Ducks Newburyport, I decided to start keeping track of the times I come across this particular Shakespeare reference. The tagged book and passage is only the second so far.
