Hi,

After watching the movie and the discuss, I really want to read the book.

I was very intrique that a female author wrote this book, which the main character was a man. I am looking forward to reading a book that reveals the emotional perspective of a man.

Quoyle's journey begins with his decision to return to the community in Newfoundland where his father was born. It's a place where he can find new friendships and committed relationships in a small closely-knit community.

Prouix' characters are interesting and quirky - each has a distinctive "voice" and contribution to Quoyle's personal journey.

The amount of extreme situations in this book contribute to its overall quirkiness and at times make the book hard to follow. They are distracting to the actual storyline of Quoyle's personal progression.
