Oh, the prose. The hanging sentences, abbreivated fellas strung together in the same rhythm as my thoughts. This made me want a go to Newfoundland, yet a surprising quantity of the figurative descriptions fell flat.
My least favorite Proulx book, but that doesn’t mean its bad. It took me about halfway through to get into it, but at the end, i cried. Proulx is a master of the short story but her novels still hold up quite well.
