Blurb (from back cover): "At thirty-six, Quoyle, a third-rate newspaperman, is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing wife meets her just deserts. 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."
Opinion: I believe that this is one of the 1001 books you should read list. I don't feel that it should be on that list. I didn't find it that enjoyable but certainly not the worst book I've read. I did like how each chapter discussed a knot fact and how it plays a part in that chapter.
