Housekeeping

I was expecting to enjoy this much more than I did, but maybe it was just the wrong time for me. It felt overwritten and boring, although I usually love the kind of thing they call ‰ЫПsumptuous prose‰Ыќ and the kind of stories where ‰ЫПnothing happens‰Ыќ. There were parts I really enjoyed, like the train at the bottom of the lake and all the flooding and the cabin in the woods that had sunk into its cellar and the final efforts at cleaning house. But it felt like it should have been a short story or a novella, not a novel.
