The numbers game is about three generations of women. But interestingly enough, it’s not quite the impression you get once you starting reading if you haven't read the synopsis.

Without having read this before choosing 'Borrow', I was intrigued as to where this novel would lead and how all the characters would tie in together in the end.

Growing up Zoe is affected by the early death of her younger sister Rose which also tears her family apart.

Zoe moves on, does well at school, marries and then has a child of her own. But how will her childhood affect how she raises her child and what troubles will she face?
