The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai

4.0

Yes! This is a travel adventure, an odd sort of love story, a growing-up story and just kind of charming.

I am officially a Makkai fan. This doesn't have the same gut-wrenching emotion of The Great Believers, but it's well told.

The kidnapping made me squirm a bit as a parent, but the story overcomes that hurdle.
