Join the New Hope Book Group on Tuesday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m. Meeting at Liz Okayama's house, 4340 N. Marmora, Chicago, we will be discussing The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
The story of Liesel Meminger, a young foster girl living outside of Munich in Nazi Germany. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she discovers something she can't resist--books. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever they are to be found. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, Liesel learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids. Heartwarming and heartbreaking as people endure the war.
