Ada Public Library book discussion "The Book Thief" on June 4
The Ada Public Library invites Icon viewers to join its discussion of Markus Zusak's "The Book Thief." The discussion takes place at 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 4, in the library.
Here's a brief outline of the plot:
"It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich.
Liesel 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 neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
