marilynne robinson's housekeeping
very short summary, due to insanely itchy rash brought on by allergies to my new shower gel (or adversely, to my antibiotics--the jury is still out). anyway: this is the story of two sisters whose mother abandons them and then commits suicide. eventually their aunt comes to raise them, though her increasing need for transience and the younger sister's quest for normalcy threaten to tear their little family apart. very good coming-of-age craziness, very different than robinson's gilead.
