The book is written in such a different way that I found myself thinking "how did they make this into a movie, how could they capture this?" I vaguely remember the movie.

I did notice earlier that the book you're reading also won the Pulitzer for fiction! I can see why The Shipping News did, because the prose is very different and beautiful. Now I think I shall try your book next.
