Housekeeping is told from the perspective of a child trying to make sense of the chaotic hand she's been dealt. It sounds tragic, and of course it is, but also kind and warm. I was bowled over by this book years ago, and waited forever for more from Robinson. She finally came through with Gilead, which was well worth the wait.
