The Shipping News
by Annie Proulx
Quoyle, a hapless journalist from New York, moves to Newfoundland with his daughters after his wife's death. He takes a job at the local paper covering shipping news. The novel is about recovery — from grief, from humiliation, from a life that has been defined by the needs of others — in a landscape of fog, ice, and sudden violent weather.
