Amazon Editorial Review:
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. As Quoyle confronts his private demons -- and the unpredictable forces of nature and society -- he begins to see the possibility of love without pain or misery.
A vigorous, darkly comic, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary North American family, The Shipping News shows why Annie Proulx is recognized as one of the most gifted and original writers in America today

I have taken my time, getting to this book.
At first, I had a hard time getting into it, to, sticking to the book's terminology: tie the various strands into a knot that holds.
Then there is the book itself. Going at a totally different pace than most other books I read. Nothing much happening, but that somehoe doesn't disturb me at all.
I loved to read this book, learn about the Newfoundland way of things.
What's even better: another one to tick off the 1001-list as well :-)
