![]() ![]() This is the 3rd Historical book I have read, one was Non-Fiction ( Where the Outback Drovers Ride) and this and the other (T raitors Gate) was Fiction. Besides the Harry Potter series, this is the first book to make me cry and I didn’t expect it to happen. I never expected to enjoy it this much and that it would make me cry. Going into this book, I kinda knew I would enjoy it and that it was probably going to make me a bit upset. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul. ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. 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. 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. ![]()
