To tie-in with the film of The Shipping News starring Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench. Annie Proulx’s highly acclaimed, international best-seller and Pulitzer prize-winning novel.

Quoyle is a hapless, hopeless hack journalist living and working in New York. When he no-good wife is killed in a spectacular road accident, Quoyle heads for the land of his forefathers – the remotest corner of far-flung Newfoundland. With ‘the aunt’ and his delinquent daughters – Bunny and Sunshine – in tow, Quoyle finds himself part of an unfolding, exhilarating Atlantic drama.

The Shipping News is an irresistible comedy of human life and possibility.

’To read The Shipping News is to yearn to be sitting in The Flying Squid Lunchstop, eating Seal Fin curry, watching the icebergs clink together in the bay.’ The Times

E..Annie Proulx published her first novel Postcards in 1991 at the age of 56. The Shipping News won the Pulitzer, the National Book Award and the Irish Times International Prize. She is also the author of a short-story collection, Heart Songs.
