Yesterday I finished my book club choice for this month--"The Book Thief", by Markus Zusak. It is definitely one of the best books I have read in a while. Even though it was, at times, incredibly heartbreaking, I couldn't put it down. It tells the story of a spirited young girl living in Nazi Germany during World War II. So, not exactly a lighthearted story to begin with, but it was remarkably well written to show the innocence of childhood and struggle of adults to do what is good and what is right for their fellow humans. I highly recommend this book...even though it left me with a heavy heart, it also reminded me of the power of words, and that there is good in every corner of the world.
