It's
just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some
words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter,
and quite a lot of thievery.
Set during World War II in Germany,
Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new 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.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul. (goodreads).
