The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai

5.0

I had read this book once before, a while ago, but checked it out of the library in late January, not realizing it was the same book. I enjoyed it very much the first time, and even more so this time. The action was unexpected for a book about a children's librarian, and it meanders pleasantly through several genres before ending at its somehow both unexpected and unavoidable conclusion. It's an easy vacation read that still makes you think. Highly recommended.
