All this talk of cold climates in my
previous article has got me thinking about one of my favourite novels -
The Shipping News, by Annie Proulx.
The Shipping News follows Quoyle, a journalist who moves with his daughters Bunny and Sunshine to remote Newfoundland, after the death of his wife. This novel is one of my favourites as it is so many things - sad, funny, profound, uplifting, and above all beautifully written.
