Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping

Paloma

“by Marilynne Robinson is one of my favorite books. Two sisters (raised by their grandmother, then their great-aunts, then their aunt) learn about loss, memory, and grief in their glacial lake-side hometown of Fingerbone.”

“It feels like you’re in the town and in the lake when you read this book. You can feel the cold and lonesomeness. The landscape and the weather are the grief the women are feeling, but not expressing in a way anyone else can accept. I kinda want to read it again even though I just read it.”

Jesse Lucas

“A forever favorite that I reread every couple of years— best enjoyed slowly.”
