The most original and enchanting romance I have read in a long
time
*The Times*
McCracken avoids the temptations of easy humour and writes with
great pathos and delicacy about the complexities of love
*Observer*
The lucid, compelling prose convinces us that this mismatched pair
do become a real couple: improbably, disturbingly, and very
movingly, theirs is a true love story
*Sunday Times*
The Giant's House is the work of a writer who is as singular and
astute as the characters she creates... funny, ambitious and
precise... a beautifully composed portrait of people struggling
against themselves with the full force of their courage and
desire
*Times Literary Supplement*
Every so often a novel comes along which transcends whimsy with the
beauty of its writing. Elizabeth McCracken's small masterpiece is
one of these
*G2*
