csulima3 's review for:
The Shipping News
by Annie Proulx
This book has a really unique fragmented writing style that took a few chapters to get used to. For the most part the plot is pretty loose and it was definitely not an easy book to read, but it was entirely worth the required effort and patience. This was above all a tale of survival amidst difficult conditions, both internally/spiritually and within the context of the harsh physical environment of a Newfoundland fishing village. The imagery and descriptive writing was phenomenal (though I can see this not being every reader’s cup of tea) and the main character arcs were satisfying.
