Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson

Really lovely and quiet book. So much water! Her next book, Gilead, was written 23 years later, and it was dusty and dry. This book is all about wetness and water and lakes and the fluidity of memory. Gilead is a book about fathers and sons and this is a book about women and mothers. I hope I do not need to wait until 2026 for her next novel.
