An unabridged audio edition of this classic work on the 25th anniversary of its first publicationA modern classic, housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, who grow up haphazardly, first under the care of their competent grandmother, then of two comically bumbling great-aunts, and finally of Sylvie, their eccentric and remote aunt. The family house is in the small Far West town of Fingerbone set on a glacial lake, the same lake where their grandfather died in a spectacular train wreck, and their mother drove off a cliff to her death. It is a town " chastened by an outsized landscape and extravagant weather, and chastened again by an awareness that the whole of human history had occurred elsewhere." Ruth and Lucille's struggle toward adulthood beautifully illuminates the price of loss and survival, and the dangerous and deep undertow of transience.… (plus d'informations)

    A Student of Weather par Elizabeth Hay (Miels)
    Miels: Both are lyrical, heavily atmospheric novels. Both concern the relationship between a strange, bookish protagonist and her more sensible sister. In Robinson's book, it's an eccentric aunt who comes between them. In Hay's, it's a charming, seductive man. Both books are very much about love, loss, social ostracism, and ephemeral/elemental beauty.… (plus d'informations)

Bleak. Beautiful writing, but the writing felt over-complex at times.
  CarolHicksCase | Mar 12, 2023 |
A very low-key exploration of a family that faces abandonment issues and that struggles with different definitions of what it means to be a family. I admit to nodding out throughout. I suppose beautiful prose offsets some of the boredom... ( )

This book is Very Literary, with beautiful writing and sparse plot. Themes of lonliness, isolation, family ties, and a strong sense of place. I don't know if I necessarily enjoyed the reading, but could see the excellence of Robinson's craft. ( )

Housekeeping enchants me, by which I mean it takes me out of the ordinary into a world told in elevated, poetic prose about situations that I might otherwise not believe if they weren't done so well. It's about family, loss, wandering, wondering, trying to fit in, trying to break free, and a dozen other themes and topics.
Though I don't understand much of what the narrator dreams about and ponders, I still take it all in without wondering, because the language is so strong and overcomes me. Same with the stories in Housekeeping; I don't ask about motivations or reasons, but let the plot carry me along.
(This review is from my Dec 2022 rereading. I can't say I remember much of my first read eleven years ago.) ( )

Not sure what it all meant, but the writing was beautiful. Thousands of beautiful sentences. A dreamy, sad story. ( )

Having a sister or a friend is like sitting at night in a lighted house. (p 154)
My grandmother['s]...eyes would roam over the goods she had accumulated unthinkingly and maintained out of habit as eagerly as if she had come to reclaim them. (p. 27)
Sylvie...considered accumulation to be the essence of housekeeping, and because she considered the hoarding of worthless things to be proof of a particularly scrupulous thrift. (p.180)
...fragments of the quotidian held up to our wondering attention, offered somehow as proof of their own significance (p73)
...leaves began to gather in the corners...Sylvie when she swept took care not to molest them. Perhaps she sensed a Delphic niceness in the scattering of these leaves and paper, here and not elsewhere.... (p.84-85)
