Book
The shipping news / E. Annie Proulx.
An aunt convinces Quoyle, a third-rate newspaper hack, and his two emotionally disturbed daughters to return with her to the starkly beautiful coastal landscape of their ancestral home in Newfoundland. Here, on desolate Quoyle's Point, in a house empty except for a few mementos of the family's unsavory past, the battered members of three generations try to cobble up new lives.
