Shipping News By: Annie Proulx

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. The setting, the characters all come to life is such a vivid portrait. I love reading about that part of the country anyway and this novel made it come to life. The characters covered such a wide spectrum, some you loved and some you hate, but you still want to know about them. THe chapter heading are quite humorous, they are taken from various books about knots and mariner jargon. As usual Proux comes through again. A great read!! ( )
