Set
during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking novel is the
story of Liesel Meminger, a 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
before he is marched to Dachau.
The
country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become
busier still.
