Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson: images and a quiet fog
The review treats Housekeeping as a weighty image rich novel set in Fingerbone Idaho. Ruth narrates the tale of two sisters, their mother Helen and aunt Sylvie in a house full of paper stacks and sparse meals. The piece praises Robinsons poetic imagery while noting a minimal plot and a tentative narrative drive.
