The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
5.0
"If only she could be so oblivious again, to feel such love without knowing it, mistaking it for laughter." - [a:Markus Zusak|11466|Markus Zusak|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1537240528p2/11466.jpg] , The Book Thief
Is it possible to have immense respect for death?
This beautiful, devastating and heartbreaking story has been narrated by death. And by the end of this book, not only did I have immense respect for it but also felt sorry for it.
Set in Nazi Germany, this is the story of Liesel, a little girl, from the perspective of death. She was sent to a new home as her mother couldn't afford to take care of her. But on her way to her new home, her younger brother passed away and she stole her first book. Soon she started stealing books from wherever she could.
Just like Anne Frank's family went into hiding, Liesel's foster family helped her hide in their basement. But will she also have the same fate as Anne?
All the descriptions given by death are beautiful, intense, and powerful. They sound poetic and pierce right through your heart.
This book is nothing less than a masterpiece. It highlights the callous nature of war, the pain and trauma of the families that are torn apart. It also highlights the importance of love and kindness and how they can make all the difference!
