Abstract: The major portion of this study of Grau's novel, "The Keepers of the House," consists of a textual analysis of the theme of violence. Offering a close reading of the primary material, the present study demonstrates that Grau uses violence throughout the novel as a cohesive element which organically relates the events of the family's history she is narrating. The history of the Howland family is a history of violent people reacting violently within a violent world.
