Keeping The House by Ellen Baker
Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century in a small Wisconsin town, this novel intricately weaves the lives of two women from different generations. Dolly Magnuson, a young bride in the 1950s, finds herself drawn to the abandoned Mickelson house, which holds the secrets of the family who once lived there. As she delves into the past, she uncovers the story of Wilma Mickelson, a woman from the 1920s whose life was marked by ambition, love, and tragedy. Through their parallel journeys, the narrative explores themes of identity, societal expectations, and the enduring quest for personal fulfillment.
