New York: Simon & Schuster / Scribner, November 2001. Mass Market Paperback. First Printing of the Movie Tie-In Paperback Edition / full number line. Near Fine. Interior unmarked, but lightly tanned. Spine straight, tight and lightly creased. Covers clean and bright. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 364 pages.

A vigorous, darkly comic, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary North American family. When Quoyle's two-timing wife meets her just deserts, he retreats with his two daughters to his ancestral home on the starkly beautiful Newfoundland coast, where a rich cast of local characters and family members all play a part in Quoyle's struggle to reclaim his life. As Quoyle confronts his private demons -- and the unpredictable forces of nature and society -- he begins to see the possibility of love without pain or misery.
