ar2chn30713 's review for:
The Shipping News
by Annie Proulx
This is a bleak and stark novel. The atmosphere is bleak and the characters are too. There are moments of brilliant writing but this book is hard to pull through as there seems to be a very subtle climax at the end. Thematically I can see why this book has won awards, as the themes of love and family pervade the novel. Not a fun nor easy read.
