  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.
