Title: The Giant's House.
Description: NY, Dial, (1996). 2nd ptg. VG in VG DJ. A librarian's poignant first-person memoir of her all-consuming love for a boy 15 years her junior who suffers from giantism. Small town library Jean believes that people fall in love based not on good looks or fate but on knowledge. Either they are amazed by something a beloved knows that they themselves do not know or they discover common rare knowledge, or they can supply knowledge to someone who's lacking. The author's former occupation as a librarian adds truth to her narrator's humorous insights into how librarians, deep down, loathe their library buildings & how books make a bad family. Laid in review of book, DJ price clipped.
