Little Big

Filed under: Uncategorized ::

Just finished Little Big by John Crowley.  I loved it so much I’m not starting another book for a few days which I haven’t done in years.   The intergenerational family with a connection to an  Otherwhere is a delight.  The pacing, language, and character development are masterful.  I can’t stop thinking what a great reading experience that was.  It’s like I’ve been eating junk food and now have been introduced to a made from scratch feast.  Little Big is from 1980.  Something about the title led me to believe I might have read it a long time ago, but no.  Dare I say it’s on my top 10 this year and it’s still January?
