I read this this both before and after having a couple of kids and warmed to it much more the second time. I was disappointed in the movie when Bunny and Sunshine were rolled into one character as I think their near agedness helps to explain some of Quoyle’s crazed behaviour. There are many elements of this book to be enjoyed; the way the history is revealed slowly, the humour of the news room, seadog Jack who can sniff trouble at sea, the stark environment and the incredible Newfoundland weather.
