#ThrowbackThursday. The Book Thief

 

Zusak, Markus "The Book Thief" - 2005

A great success in our book club. Most members loved it.

This is the story of a little girl in Nazi Germany living with foster parents. An account of little girls growing up, Nazis, Jews, theft, death but most of all, a lot of hope. A warm story, real people dealing with devastating events. We were all deeply touched by it.

We discussed this in our international book club in January 2011.

Read my original review here.

  1. I've had this in my book pile for a while now. I REALLY must read it. Next year for sure I think!

  2. A friend gave me a copy of this, I think. Is the Grim Reaper the narrator?

    1. Yes, it is. No idea who you are or whether you get a notification about my answer but I hope you will. I know some people do not like that part but I assure you, it is a great novel. Check out my original post.

    1. Oh, I totally know, Lark. Too many books, too little time. I still hope you will get to it one day, it really is worth reading.

    1. That's sad, Anon, but we all have books we either don't like or cannot fathom.
