THIS HIGHLY ACCLAIMED and awardwinning novel is the story of two orphans: Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, growing up haphazardly under the care of various bumbling relatives. The two girls finally end up in a small town nestled next to a glacial lake in Idaho, under the guardianship of Sylvie, their odd and rather remote aunt. Ruths and Lucilles struggle to define themselves as women beautifully illuminates the price of loss and survival, and the dangerous undertow of transience. Written in Robinsons vibrantly poetic prose, Housekeeping reaches the orphan in all of us and transforms everyday life into a sacred experience.PRAISE FOR HOUSEKEEPINGBrilliantly portrays the impermanence of all things, especially beauty and happiness. TimeSo precise, so distilled, so beautiful that one doesnt want to miss any pleasure it might yield.The New York Times Book ReviewExtraordinary.... Marilynne Robinson uses language so exquisitely.... Every sentence [is]made just right.... Housekeeping proves that fine fiction is still being written.The Washington Post Book WorldI found myself reading slowly, then more slowlythis is not a novel to be hurried through, for every sentence is a delight. Doris Lessing
