See my other Franklin Library Books and Collectible items The Keepers of the House is a 1964 novel by Shirley Ann Grau set in rural Alabama. It covers seven generations of the Howland family that lived in the same house and developed a community around themselves. As such, it is a metaphor for the long-established families of the Deep South of the United States, their encounter with changing values and norms, and the hypocrisy of racism. In 1965, The Keepers of the House was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The Item Pictured Is The Item You Will Receive. Please Look At The Photos To Ensure Condition And Decide For Yourself.
