Дополнительные характеристики
Quoyle is a hapless, hopeless journalist living and working in New York. While weathering the storm that is his marriage of one-way love for no-good wife Petal, disaster strikes, and Petal is killed in a spectacular road accident. Set adrift on an aimless quest, Quoyle heads for the land of his forefathers - to the remote corners of far-flung Newfoundland. With his delinquent daughters, Bunny and Sunshine, in tow, Quoyle takes up the post of shipping news reporter, and finds himself part-of an 11 exhilarating Atlantic drama.
Set against the bracing winds and billowing waves of Newfoundland, The Shipping News is an irresistible comedy of human life and possibility.
