Book Review of Keeping the House

Keeping the House

Book Type: Hardcover

Helpful Score: 3


This book has it all: history, romance, family dynamics, scenic descriptions. I loved the excerpts from the 1930's - 1950's ladies magazines and articles that started the chapters regarding the main character, Dolly. It really helped me understand the society she was living in at that time, and in turn her actions. The author includes so many little details that paint the picture of the decades she's writing about. Really well done.
