The author's tone matches the changes Quoyle's psyche. At times it is unsure and repressed. At other times the tone matches Quoyle's re-awakening: the reader can feel it in description of the sea and the weather. However, the physical descriptions of the characters are less emphasized except for specific characteristics.
