I finished reading this book whilst I was sick-a-bed in Middlesbrough this week. It's one of those books that I know I will think about for a while and then most definitely go back to. And I haven't read a book that I've wanted to go back to since I was in my early 20s. That's not to say I haven't read some great books since then - but they have all been "good read but now it's over" type books. The characters in Housekeeping, and the setting of Fingerbone on the edge of the great lake, are just haunting.
A beautiful, beautiful book. Read it if you haven't. Read it again if you have.
