Little, Big
By John Crowley
Published by HarperCollins
Little, Big is a mesmerizing, brilliant novel that predates Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by twenty years. Smoky Barnable falls in love with Daily Alice and loses himself in her strange, otherworldly family. Edgewood, a place not found on any map, is home to the Drinkwaters, an eccentric, secretive family living on the edge of reality. Filled with mystery, past and present drift as the tale of the Drinkwaters is uncovered. Like Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale, Little, Big blends myth and magic with a family saga. The result is an intoxicating and vivid masterpiece.
