At the Guardian, John Mullan named ten of the best fishing trips in literature.

One book on the list:

The Shipping News by Annie Proulx

Quoyle flees to Newfoundland and comes to rest in Killick-Claw, a town on the edge of the Atlantic suffused with the tang of fish. He works for the local newspaper, whose editor calls in sick almost every day so that he can go fishing. Quoyle is slowly reborn, finding out all about love and cod fishing.

The Shipping News appears among Elise Valmorbida's top ten books with a happy ending.
