The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - first published 2007
A wonderful book. Don't let the fact that it is narrated by death put you off. This book is one of those rare novels that is utterly different from anything else I have ever read. If you aren't crying by the end or are at least moved by it, then you are indeed hard hearted. It is the story of Liesel, who is sent to stay with foster parents Hans and Rosa in a town near Munchen at the beginning of the Second World War, and her friends and neighbours on Himmel Street. 10/10
