The Shipping News by Annie Proulx

5.0

A marvellous tale of a lost and incapable man. His betrayal and hurt, his fresh start and attempt to heal. It has lots of coastal scenery, seafaring culture, a strong community, sexual abuse, a wild party and even a missing house and a holy miracle!!.

Such a quiet, gentle story but with some harsh and heart wrenching content. Rich and likeable characters - with a couple of wrong uns to keep it interesting.

I’m thinking this story will stay in my heart for a long time.
