THE MODERN CLASSIC WITH OVER 17 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE

The extraordinary, beloved novel about the ability of books to feed the soul even in the darkest of times.

When Death has a story to tell, you listen.

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist-books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbours during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.

A timeless novel about the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of stories, perfect for readers of Babel by R. F. Kuang, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
