Description
The ordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that may be now a major motion picture, Markus Zusak’s unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will change into busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living out of doors of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t face up to–books. With the assistance of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors all over bombing raids in addition to with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning writer Markus Zusak, writer of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the vital enduring stories of our time.
