Bruce Allen USA Today The writing 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.
Roz Spafford San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle Annie Proulx's
stunning, big-hearted The Shipping News thaws the frozen lives of
its characters and warms readers.
Stephen Jones Chicago Tribune The Shipping News is that rare
creation, a lyric page-turner.
