The Giant's House: A Romance"McCracken mixes the proper amount of lunacy with exactly the right amount of sorrow. The blend is reminiscent of such late 20th century treasures as The Accidental Tourist, The World According to Garp, or A Confederacy of Dunces."

"McCracken mixes the proper amount of lunacy with exactly the right amount of sorrow. The blend is reminiscent of such late-20th-century treasures as The Accidental Tourist, The World According to Garp, or A Confederacy of Dunces."--Denver Post The year is 1950, and in a small town on Cape Cod twenty-six-year-old librarian Peggy Cort feels like love and life have stood her up. Until the day James Carlson Sweatt- the "over-tall" eleven-year-old boy who's the talk of the town-walks into her library and changes her life forever. Two misfits whose lonely paths cross at the circulation desk, Peggy and James are odd candidates for friendship, but nevertheless they soon find their lives entwined in ways that neither one could have predicted. In James, Peggy discovers the one person who's ever really understood her, and as he grows- six foot five at age twelve, then seven feet, then eight-so does her heart and their most singular romance. Praise for The Giant's House "Remarkable . . . McCracken has wit and subtlety to burn, as well as an uncanny ability to tap into the sadness that runs through the center of her characters' worlds. This book is so lovely that, when you're reading, you'll want to sleep with it under your pillow."--SalonA true marvel . . . thoroughly enjoyable from its unlikely beginning to its bittersweet end. . . McCracken knows all kinds of subtle, enticing secrets of the heart and conveys them in silky, transparent language."--San Francisco Chronicle "Lovely . . . a tribute to the quiet passion of people trapped in isolation."--Los Angeles Times "Fascinating . . . The reader finds herself entangled, body and soul, in this tender and endlessly strange novel, which is in all senses a hymn to human growth gone haywire and to a love so big it can't hold its own magnificent limbs upright."--Elle "Such is the incantatory power of McCracken's eccentric tale that by its close we are completely in the grip of its strangely conceived ardor. . . . McCracken is as original a writer as they come. . . . I fell in love."--Daphne Merkin, The New Yorker

Best Cream!!
Love this stuff!
I got this because menopause was killing my skin. It was awful! Itchy, red and dry. I couldn't sleep it was so bad.
I found this, and it's literally the only thing that actually helped. I went through my first jar quickly, no you don't need much, but my rash was all over my arms, neck and chest.
After my second jar and using it a few times a day, my rash is gone!
Some people may not like the smell, but I think it's actually nice. It's not greasy, and I don't feel gross after putting it on. I hate greasy creams.
On my third jar now! This one is lasting much longer since I don't need it as much.

Good Relief, But a Little Pricey
I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like this cream deserved one. I’ve tried so many products for dry, itchy eczema patches, and most either felt greasy, burned when applied, or just didn’t do much. Puriya has been such a refreshing change. The texture is smooth, it absorbs quickly without leaving that sticky feeling, and within a couple of days my skin felt calmer and the redness started to fade.
What I really like is how versatile it is. I’ve used it on flare-ups, random dry spots, and even my hands when they get irritated in the summer. It feels gentle but still effective, and I don’t need to use a ton for it to work.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the price. It’s a little on the higher side for the amount you get. I also find myself reapplying a bit more often than I’d like. But overall, it’s one of the better creams I’ve tried, and I’ll definitely keep using it.

Not good for eczema
This cream shouldn't be described as an eczema cream. Eczema is usually colonized by s. aureus bacteria, and you need a powerful anti-bacterial substance in your skin cream in order to combat it. Neem oil or manuka honey both have strong anti-bacterial effects, and I recommend getting a cream with one of those ingredients if you have eczema. This Puriya cream is helpful for moisturizing dry skin to prevent eczema. However, it won't help to stop eczema once you've got it. That said, customer service was very helpful and gave me a refund for the product after I complained.

Very nice and moisturizing on the skin but didn't do much repairing. Overly expensive for nothing.
