Stephen reviewed Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton
Review of 'Ducks' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Really powerful book about being a woman in the oil sands of Alberta. I couldn't do it. Kate's pretty clear this is her experience and not "everyone's experience" but it looks pretty intense for everyone isolated from the rest of the world (at least back in 2006) and then particularly unpleasant for women through either microaggressions or outright sexual violence.
