Ruth and her Aunt Sylvie return to the house in lonely Idaho after the death of Ruth's mother. There they consider the implications of occupying the house, or whether they should leave it to Lucille, the more othodox sister, and just hit the road. This modern classic is beautifully written, with stunning, poetic passages. And it takes up the weighty, timeless issues of material success, the urge to roam and take each day as it comes, and social orthodoxy.
