Dear Reader, One day, many years ago now, I wrote a sentence in an early draft of a novel about the world's tallest man: Everyone said that the librarian was in love with him. Hmm, I thought. I wonder what that means? And I began writing. It's been 11 years since my first novel, THE GIANT'S HOUSE, was published. I'm sentimental about first anythings. When I started THE GIANT'S HOUSE I was, like Peggy Cort, the narrator, a 24-year-old librarian living alone on Cape Cod. I liked to pretend it wasn't autobiographical. Now I've changed but she hasn't: she's still a soft-hearted, prickly, well-intentioned, awkward woman who meets an overtall boy and decides what I wanted to believe then and do believe now: that despite the caution of all of her previous days, a person can find her life transformed by love.
