Description

The story of Ruth and her sister Lucille is one of haphazard upbringing, marked by the care of their grandmother, two eccentric great-aunts, and eventually Sylvie, the remote sister of their deceased mother. As they navigate this unconventional family life, Ruth and Lucille must come to terms with their own identities and the complex relationships that bind them together. This poignant and introspective novel explores themes of family, love, and belonging. Through its thoughtful and nuanced portrayal of two sisters' experiences, Housekeeping offers a deeply moving and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to find one's place in the world.
