Quoyle, a mediocre newspaperman, is forcibly pulled out of his day-to-day existence at thirty-six when his cheating wife gets her fair desserts. Along with his two children, he withdraws to his ancestral house on the breathtakingly scenic coast of Newfoundland, where a diverse group of locals participate in Quoyle's fight to take back his life. Quoyle faces his own demons as well as the capricious forces of nature and society as three generations of his family piece together new lives, and he starts to realize that love is possible even in the absence of suffering.

The Shipping News, a vibrant, darkly humorous, and sometimes enchanted depiction of the modern American family, demonstrates why E. Annie Proulx is regarded as one of the most talented and inventive authors working in America today.
