this is the fun story of Quoyle who finds himself by returning to his ancestral home. The home is in a town in Newfoundland and has a unique and interesting history, just like all the people in this small town in Newfoundland. The story is quirky & fun. I really enjoyed it! Quoyle is used to being a failure in love, in work, in his family of origin but in this new life he discovers his calling, his abilities, and really overcomes the shadows in his life. Great story!
