The Back of the Book 'The Shipping News ... is that rare creation, a lyric page turner.' Stephen Jones, Chicago Tribune At thirty-six, Quoyle, a third-rate newspaper man, is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his 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 all play a part in Quoyle's struggle to reclaim his life. As three generations of his family cobble up new lives, Quoyle confronts his private demons - and the unpredictable forces of nature and society - and begins to see the possibility of love without pain or misery. A vigorous, darkly comic, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary American family, The Shipping News shows why E Annie Proulx is recognised as one of the most gifted and original writers in America today. 'The writing is charged with sardonic wit - alive, funny, a little threatening; packed with brilliantly original images ... and, now and then, a sentence that simply takes your breath away.' Bruce Allen, USA Today 'E Annie Proulx's stunning, big-hearted The Shipping News thaws the frozen lives of its characters and warms readers.'
