The Shipping News – E.Annie Proulx

Quoyle is a hapless, hopeless hack journalist living and working in New York. When his no-good wife is killed in a spectacular road accident, Quoyle heads for the land of his forefathers – the remotest corner of far flung Newfoundland. With ‘the aunt’ and his delinquent daughters – Bunny and Sunshine – in tow, Quoyle finds himself a part of an unfolding exhilarating Atlantic drama. The Shipping News is an irresistible comedy of human life and possibility.

“As stark and ruggedly beautiful as the storm-battered coast of Newfoundland itself.” – Sunday Telegraph
