Housekeeping

Title: Housekeeping
Author: Marilynn Robinson


This book title was ironic. The main character did not have a knack for housekeeping in the traditional sense but just the opposite. Yet she tried to do what housekeeping symbolizes - keeping a family together. Do you think she succeeded?

There is a reader's guide to this book for those of you who may want to read it in a book discussion group.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a good story.
