The Book Thief by Markus ZusakAn incredible account of the first years of WWII told from the perspective of 9-year-old Liesel, a young girl abandoned to a foster family in the midst of the Nazi crackdowns on Jews and communists in Munich. Narrated by Death, we are given a unique insight into the survival of Germany's own citizens under the reign of Hitler, and the incredible courage of those willing to hide Jews in the heart of the Reich. Emotionally powerful and heart-wrenchingly told.
