A review by jdprickett
The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai

4.0

So much fun! My first Makkai read, and I loved it. I've read the reviews where people can't get past the "far-out" plot line; and yes, it's far fetched to believe some of the events, but that's also fiction at it's finest. We are supposed to be able to suspend all that we know of our real worlds, and dip into the fantastical, the unreal, the improbable, if only for a bit. And the best fiction makes us believe this could be true.
