The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai
4.0
I honestly wasn't sure how this would wrap up - but I absolutely loved it, even the somewhat unlikely twist of the Russian family connections / mafia saving the day!
I also adored the musings at the end, in the section entitled 'If a Book Lacked an Epilogue, Ian Would Frequently Offer His Own'. Just the kind of lyricism and questions that sit within you and make you think a little more.
'I am the mortal at the end of this story. I am the monster at the end of this book. I'm left here alone to figure it all out, and I can't quite.'
