A review by tarrowood
Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson

5.0

Marilynne Robinson’s debut novel reads like a magnum opus; every word deserves to be read with ardor, and every moment can be heard as it breathes itself into reality. Housekeeping proffers quite a simple story, but simplicity is simply a ruse; underneath this simplicity is a complex narrative that exudes Christian thought and intense imagery (especially that of water)
Read this book. I certainly will again at some point.
