This writing is awful. Another product of the Pulitzer Prize circle jerk.

The writing, my god.

However,I did not enjoy reading it.

Second time I’ve read it. Glad I did. Annie Proulx is a wonderful storyteller. That’s why I’ve read all her books.

Loved this book. It has an odd, shorthand style of writing whose economy of words gets straight to the heart of its unusual characters and their actions in this disappearing slice of life from coastal Newfoundland. The characters are memorable and lovable and the story draws you right in from the beginning. Couldn’t put it down. Loved it.

Adore the chachters and much to learn from them...buoyancy
