Set in Nazi Germany in 1939, 'The Book Thief' tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a young girl living with her foster family on Himmel Street. Liesel's parents have been taken away to a concentration camp, and she finds solace in stealing books. With the help of her 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. Narrated by Death, this novel is a reflection on the ability of books to feed the soul even in the darkest of times.
