À propos de cet audio

 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Shipping News is a vigorous, darkly comic, at times magical portrait of the contemporary North American family, and "a rare creation, a lyric page-turner" (Chicago Tribune).

At thirty-six, Quoyle, a third-rate newspaperman is wrenched violently out of his world when his two-timing wife meets her just desserts. He retreats with his two daughters to his ancestral home on the starkly beautiful Newfoundland coast, where a rich cast of local characters all play a part in Quoyle’s struggle to reclaim his life. As three generations of his family cobble up new lives, Quoyle confronts his private demons—and the unpredictable forces of nature and society—and begins to see the possibility of love without pain or misery.

The Shipping News “is charged with sardonic wit—alive, funny, a little threatening: packed with brilliantly original images…and now and then, a sentence that simply takes your breath away” (USA TODAY).©1995 E.

I didn’t realize this wasn’t the full version of the book. A bit disappointing... a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel shouldn’t be altered.

Full version would be preferable.

Didn’t realize this was an abridged version. Thought I was purchasing a complete audio book. Disappointing.

Sadly, an abridged version

Disappointing that they don’t advertise this as abridged. The ending seemed to come out of nowhere.

Should say that it’s abridged

I purchased this book in hopes that it was an unabridged copy but unfortunately it is not it is either best to read the book alone or listen to the audio you cannot do both as it skips huge paragraphs I'm trying to follow along is next to Impossible

Not unabridged

This abridged version is very unsatisfactory; save your credit. I'm disappointed that the full version isn't available, especially considering the Canadian connection.

Why isn't the unabridged version available?
