Author of Giant, a CBC Readers' Choice Top 5 book.
Giant is now available as an e-book.
“In Giant, Aga Maksimowska has created a heroine who is bold, fiercely funny, and as unforgettable as the Polish uprising to which she is a witness. A story of emancipation so heart-breakingly hilarious, you won't know whether to laugh or cry.” ~ Helen Humphreys, author of The Reinvention of Love and Coventry
“Aga Maksimowska has an ability to show vulnerability and tenderness without the slightest bit of sentimentality. She has a shrewd and sardonic sense of humour and an impeccable sense of timing that keep her writing, even in the most painful moments, buoyant, afloat.” ~ Camilla Gibb, author of The Beauty of Humanity Movement and Sweetness in the Belly
"If you like misshapen, afflicted, uniquely insightful youthful protagonists grappling with sweeping historical change, you'll love Giant. Aga Maksimowska channeled Salman Rushdie and Günter Grass in creating this unforgettable, funny, outsized Polish Canadian girl narrator." ~ Elaine Chang, author of Reel Asian
"Aga Maksimowska is a very promising young writer with talent and a new story to tell the world." ~ Susan Swan, author of The Western Light and The Wives of Bath
