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
I guarantee that this novel will touch your heart, just as it did mine
Nina Pottell, Prima
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 most original and enchanting romance I have read in a long time
Erica Wagner, The Times
