kimabill 's review for:
The Borrower
by Rebecca Makkai
This is the story of Lucy, a children's librarian who runs away from home with Ian, an odd and endearing young boy who is a frequent patron of the library. The premise is far-fetched, definitely, but Ian is such a wonderful character that I didn't mind the craziness so much. There are lots of in-jokes related to children's literature and anyone who loved to read as a kid will want to give Ian a big hug. There were many moments that made me smile in that lump-in-your-throat kind of way. I think my siblings in particular would probably like this one.
