The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier. And somewhere in all this, a little girl called Liesel Meminger is stealing books.

Narrated by Death himself, The Book Thief is the extraordinary, heartbreaking, and ultimately life-affirming story of Liesel — a young girl sent to live with a foster family on Himmel Street in Munich. There, she discovers the power of words and stories, first stealing a book from a graveside, then from Nazi book-burnings, and later from the library of the mayor’s wife. Aided by her accordion-playing foster father, she shares her stolen books with her neighbours during bombing raids and with the Jewish man hiding in her basement.

Written with breathtaking originality and emotional depth, The Book Thief is a novel about the beauty and brutality of the human experience — about the stories we tell, the words that save us, and the love that endures even in the darkest of times. It is one of the most remarkable and beloved novels of the 21st century.
