A unique feature of this book, I think, is that although Quoyle was raised with his share of the effects of a dysfunctional family, the story does not dwell on it. By now we all know how messed up we are, so let's stop whining about it and get on with fixing ourselves. This was a most unordinary tale of an ordinary man and the profound possibilities that exist for all to learn.
