jcongirl 's review for:

The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
4.0

What a lovely cast of characters! Proux's writing style is a bit difficult to get used to at first - her sentences are short and choppy and at times it feels as if you are reading stage directions. But soon I was rooting for Quoyle and his girls. They will linger with me long after finishing this book. And, I learned a lot about knots - you can't say that about a lot of books! ;)
