National Book Award for Fiction Best Book (nominee)
Set in a small town on Cape Cod in 1950, this tells of the relationship between Peggy Cort, a 28-year-old librarian, and James Carlson Sweatt, an 'over-tall' 11-year-old. They are odd candidates for friendship, but they still find their lives entwined in ways that neither one could have predicted.
