The Shipping News – Annie Proulx
The Shipping News
When Quoyle’s two-timing wife meets her just deserts, he retreats with his two daughters to his ancestral home on the starkly beautiful Newfoundland coast, where a rich cast of local characters and family members all play a part in Quoyle’s struggle to reclaim his life.

A very interesting read with a quirky writing style and interesting characters. It should be required reading before a visit to Newfoundland.
The characters and setting are extremely lifelike. Village life and the incremental growth of main characters richly rewarded the reader.
