A review by danadou
The Shipping News by Annie Proulx

3.0

I enjoyed it, but I wasn't wowed. Proulx makes Newfoundland sound super interesting/horrible, and I wonder how much it has changed in the past 25 years. I don't think the aunt's backstory added to the book, and it just seemed so easy to vilify Quoyle's family without providing insight into their lives.
