Synopsis

Alice Mattison was the 1997 recipient of a New York Times Notable Book Award. Like Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye, The Book Borrower delicately but powerfully explores the truths behind women's friendships. In 1975 the young, timid Toby Ruben begins a life-long bond with the dynamic, boisterous Deborah Laidlaw.
