About this title

Review:

· ‘A very impressive achievement. So funny, so full of delights.’ Guardian

· ‘As stark and ruggedly beautiful as the storm-battered coast of Newfoundland itself.’ Sunday Telegraph

· ‘Ambitious and accomplished ... The characterisation is rich, the dialogue both original and convincing.’ Alan Massie, Scotsman

'A stunning novel.' Observer

'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
