I enjoyed that when I read it years ago. Her writing seemed to go off a cliff and fall into the Sea of Pretentious Unsufferability after that, but obviously it's possible that has more to do with my tastes and mindset than her writing. Haven't read any of her recent stuff because I so hated the one or two things I did read after Shipping News that I stopped paying any attention.
I started The Shipping News by Annie Proulx last night. I'm about 30 pages in so far.
