Description

Following a personal tragedy, Quoyle flees with his daughters to the rugged Newfoundland coast, seeking solace and a new beginning in the ancestral home he's never known. Amidst a vibrant community of eccentric relatives and neighbors, he grapples with his past and the harsh realities of his new life. As Quoyle navigates the unpredictable forces of nature and society, he begins to discover the possibility of love and redemption. Annie Proulx masterfully weaves a darkly comic and often magical tale of family, resilience, and the search for belonging in a remote and unforgiving landscape.
