The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
4.75
Concise prose reflects the harsh, demanding environment of Newfoundland and the emotions shown by its inhabitants. Told in a laconic way, with some surprisingly sparkling humoristic gems thrown in now and then, we get shown: well, life it what it is. Not always great drama, not always flaming passion, but you can find compassion and meaningful bonds with others in unexpected places and ways.
This was a re-read for me, and I couldn't remember much of the book but an image of racing clouds, deafening breaking waves and blinding sunlight in the mudflat. Nordic, maritim vibes. And again these images will prevail.
I love it.
