The first novel from the acclaimed author of The Great Believers
"Rarely is a first novel as smart and engaging and learned and
funny and moving as The Borrower." -Richard Russo, author of
Pulitzer Prize-winning Empire Falls Lucy Hull, a children's
librarian in Hannibal, Missouri, finds herself both kidnapper and
kidnapped when her favorite patron, ten-year-old Ian Drake, runs
away from home. Ian needs Lucy's help to smuggle books past his
overbearing mother, who has enrolled Ian in weekly antigay classes.
Desperate to save him from the Drakes, Lucy allows herself to be
hijacked by Ian when she finds him camped out in the library after
hours, and the odd pair embarks on a crazy road trip. But is it
just Ian who is running away? And should Lucy be trying to save a
boy from his own parents?
