The Book Thief

The Book Thief
Markus Zusak

'The Book Thief' is the inspiration for this blog name. It is a beautiful wonderful book which everyone should read. Set in Nazi Germany it tells the tale of Liesel, a girl who lives with foster parents on Himmel Street. She is the book thief, and the star of a novel narrated by Death himself. Her foster parents are kind people, who gradually take the place of her real parents- communists who probably were killed by the Nazi regime. Liesel's foster parents hide a Jew in their basement, and try to save his life.

'The Book Thief' is a lyrical masterpiece which writes about the power of books, and the words within the books. Originally marketed as a children's book, it has now also moved into the adult fiction category. Perfect for anyone aged ten and older.
