The Book Thief
Set in 1939 Nazi Germany, the story is narrated by Death, who tells the tale of Liesel Meminger, a young foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist—books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids, as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. This extraordinary novel explores the ability of books to feed the soul even in the darkest of times and the enduring power of words to provide hope and connection in the midst of war.
