Housekeeping

Marilynne Robinson`s 1980 novel is a strange coming-of-age tale set in the Idaho mountains. The story is about two orphaned sisters, Ruth and Lucille, who go to live with their unconventional and possibly unbalanced Aunt Sylvie. Ruth, the narrator, is haunted by the death of her grandfather, who died in a horrifying train wreck years ago, and the more recent death of her mother, who drove her car off a cliff. The setting for these family tragedies--the fictional town of Fingerbone and its frigid lake--continues to play its part in the story. As the two girls grow up in this eerie and evocative place, Lucille`s life becomes focused on only one thing: to fit in and be as ordinary as possible. But Ruth, who has felt alienated all her life from her surroundings, has a profound need to rebel. The circumstances of these two diverging lives form the basis of a novel that has been heralded as an American classic, celebrated for the compelling strangeness of its story and the lyrical prose that Robinson (who grew up in Idaho) employs to tell it.
Robinson`s first novel, HOUSEKEEPING was made into a memorable 1987 movie, starring Christine Lahti.
