Housekeeping

This beautiful softcover edition is in fine condition. The pages are tight, unmarked, and the book is tight, square, and unmarked. Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping (1980) is a beautifully written debut novel that explores themes of loss, isolation, family, and belonging. Marilynne Robinson’s own background shaped the novel’s setting and its meditative, poetic prose. It speaks to feelings of displacement, the tension between stability and freedom, and the longing for connection that many people experience. 1
