"HERE IS A SMALL FACT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier." A remarkable historical novel crafted beautifully by Markus Zusak, set in the years 1939-1943. It is narrated by Death during World War II, focusing on a young German girl's personal experience of the heart-wrenching, horrific events in Nazi Germany. Liesel, our playful heroine, is a thief. She steals books. She only ever steals books. This is her story of her struggles, her love and cravings for words, accordions and how her life and the lives of those living on Himmel Street were torn apart. An original, heart-warming read - highly recommended!
