book review
Housekeeping
Two orphaned sisters, reared by a peripatetic aunt in the isolation of a lakeside town, dwell within prose so exquisite it approaches the threshold of sorrow. A meditation upon transience, water, and the female figures who cannot and will not be domesticated, the novel traces what persists when settlement itself is refused.

this is one entry from a wandering list of films, books, shows and albums, kept by someone trying to live a slightly more deliberate life.
