The Giant's House by Elizabeth McCracken

4.0

The lovely, quiet narrative of this book really drew me in. Peggy Cort a lonely, public librarian in a small New England town, falls for a boy 14 years her junior. She first meets James Sweatt when he is age 11 and 6'2. He will only grow taller. The author fully develops all the characters, especially Peggy. Written in the first person, the reader gets to know Peggy through her acerbic, misanthropic, yet often tender narrative. Extremely well-written.
