Sinopsis:
In an unusual, lyrical voice, a young black girl describes growing up as the housekeeper for a South Carolina brothel's formidable white madam in the 1930s. By the author of Private Parts.
Reseña del editor: Keeper of the House is the story of life in a South Carolina brothel called Hazelhedge, chronicled by a remarkable young black woman Minyon Manigault. Sent there to work as a maid in 1929 at the age of fourteen, the girl becomes a pair of eyes and hands, watching and working almost invisibly in a world where men leave their public selves at the door and women lose themselves in their work.
