The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai
A young children's librarian finds herself unexpectedly entangled in the life of a precocious ten-year-old boy who is struggling with his identity and the oppressive expectations of his conservative parents. As she becomes more involved, she inadvertently embarks on a spontaneous road trip with the boy, leading to a journey of self-discovery and moral dilemmas. Through their adventures, both characters confront their own personal challenges and societal norms, ultimately exploring themes of freedom, responsibility, and the power of literature to transform lives.
