{"product_id":"the-shipping-news-2","title":"The Shipping News","description":"Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Shipping News is a vigorous, darkly comic, at times magical portrait of the contemporary North American family, and \"a rare creation, a lyric page-turner\" (Chicago Tribune).\n\nAt thirty-six, Quoyle, a third-rate newspaperman is wrenched violently out of his world when his two-timing wife meets her just desserts. He retreats with his two daughters to his ancestral home on the starkly beautiful Newfoundland coast, where a rich cast of local characters all play a part in Quoyle’s struggle to reclaim his life. As three generations of his family cobble up new lives, Quoyle confronts his private demons—and the unpredictable forces of nature and society—and begins to see the possibility of love without pain or misery.\n\nThe Shipping News “is charged with sardonic wit—alive, funny, a little threatening: packed with brilliantly original images…and now and then, a sentence that simply takes your breath away” (USA TODAY).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0671510053\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UI560005FC_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:E.
