The Last Borrower
In post-war Glasgow, a quiet assistant librarian discovers that a set of missing books from a municipal lending library may be tied to a long-buried local scandal. As she follows the trail through damaged catalogues, reluctant witnesses and the habits of people who never meant to be remembered, she begins to see how much of a city can disappear in plain sight.
