Shipping News by Annie Proulx
A timid, luckless newspaperman uproots himself from his troubled past and moves to a remote Newfoundland coastal town where, surrounded by harsh sea, eccentric locals and small‑town rituals, he takes a job covering local shipping and community news, confronts painful family history and loss, and slowly finds resilience, belonging and a steadier sense of self through hard work, new relationships and the gritty rhythms of maritime life.
