The Giant’s House

“[S]uch is the incantatory power of McCracken’s eccentric tale that by its close we are complexly in the grip of its strangely conceived ardor…Somewhere in the middle of reading this book, I found myself wanting never to leave its carefully delineated, well-tended precincts.” —Daphne Merkin, The New Yorker

“A small masterpiece, profound, subtle and harmonious.” —Carol Birch, The Independent

“The most original and enchanting romance I have read in a long time.” —Erica Wagner, The Times (London)
