The Shipping News - Annie Proulx
The Shipping News - Annie Proulx
This is a novel about second chances, but not in a glossy way…
After a personal collapse, Quoyle moves with his daughters to Newfoundland, to the ancestral home he barely knows. What follows is a slow rebuilding against a landscape that feels both brutal and bracing.
Annie Proulx writes with muscular, salt-air prose. The sentences have heft. The humour is dry, sometimes sly. The characters are odd, tender, stubbornly alive. You feel the cold. You feel the wind. You feel the small dignity of people who endure.
