COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Well written submitted by kferguson on August 20, 2016, 8:35pm Well written and easy to read

Okay submitted by zmclaugh on July 25, 2018, 2:45pm Interesting for a while, but then it gets tedious and sort of fizzles out.

That was odd. submitted by terpsichore17 on July 16, 2019, 2:11pm Evocative prose, which I've come to expect from Robinson by virtue of reading Gilead once.

An odd sort of storyline (how many people can die on you before you leave whoever and whatever's left?)(what's the longest any house made by an amateur builder/architect has lasted?). Somewhat surprised that the title is Housekeeping rather than Transience/Transients, but I suppose the latter would be a bit too on-the-nose.

Perfection submitted by unknown on July 13, 2020, 4:55pm This book is perfect. It is like a prose poem. It's such a pleasure to read a book written by a true master.
