A review by deanna_rigney
Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson

4.0

With its dark themes and unhappy resolutions, this is not an easily “likeable” read, but Robinson’s tale is hauntingly told in rich, literary sentences full of details and philosophical thoughts. There are also unexpected moments of dry humor that help with the heaviness. It is definitely not chick lit, even if the title makes it sound as though it could be.
