"Housekeeping"
I wrote about this once earlier, but Blogger seems to have discarded it. Let's assume it was brilliant and insightful.
I finished Marilynne Robinson's "Housekeeping" this afternoon. I'd read that it was better than "Gilead," which I really enjoyed, so I was looking forward to reading it. It was well written, but I didn't like it as much as "Gilead." It was so melancholy and lacking hope. I never once thought that the characters might be in for a happy ending. Some might argue that they did find their happy ending, but I'm not buying it.
