Quoyle is a hapless, hopeless hack journalist living and working in New York. When his no-good, two-timing wife is killed in a spectacular road accident, Quoyle heads for the land of his forefathers - the remotest corner of far-flung Newfoundland. With "the aunt" and his delinquent daughters - Bunny and Sunshine - in tow, Quoyle finds himself part of an unfolding, exhilarating Atlantic drama.
'The Shipping News' is an irresistible comedy of human life and possibility. Now a major motion picture starring Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, and Judi Dench, based on Annie Proulx's highly acclaimed, international best-seller and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
