'A classic.' Guardian 'A masterpiece.' The New Yorker 'I just adore
this book and have probably reread it a hundred times.' Michelle
Zauner From the Orange Prize winning author of Home and Gilead.
Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and Lucille, orphans growing up
in the small desolate town of Fingerbone in the vast northwest of
America. Abandoned by a succession of relatives, the sisters find
themselves in the care of Sylvie, the remote and enigmatic sister
of their dead mother. Steeped in imagery of the bleak wintry
landscape around them, the sisters' struggle towards adulthood is
powerfully portrayed in a novel about loss, loneliness and
transience.
