Review:
"The heightening tension throughout their haphazard road trip from Missouri to Vermont is exhilarating... This astonishingly assured novel knows precisely where it's heading ... the reader is breathless with hope that Lucy and Ian will find a happy ending." (Daily Mail)

"A tale of the inspirational power of children's books...The Borrower is a tremendously entertaining read." (Financial Times)

"The Borrower's out and out charm is heightened by its furious, righteous heart and conviction that books offer salvation and hope when life is messy and near-unbearable" (Marie Claire)

"Funny, charming debut...it's a lovely, inventive novel, smart but not annoyingly wise-cracking, about the power of books and stories to sustain people when life becomes impossible... warmly demonstrates that love can come in different and unexpected guises." (Metro)

"The sheer zest and care with which this book is written, as well as the emphasis on children's literature, set it apart... Makkai is an engaging writer." (Guardian)
Book Description:
A sparkling debut novel about the stories we read and the ones we tell ourselves
