It felt like the Summer chapters of To Kill A Mockingbird with Nazi Germany as the setting. It’s probably a lot better for teens/pre-teens that know less about the Holocaust.

This is how I like a war be pictured, disembodied people, mutilated children in a bombing, ruined houses, loves, humans,... If seek glory look somewhere else there is none in any side of the frontline.
The only war I like is when people revolt against their dictators and tell them go f* yourself instead of the people.

This is an amazing, beautifully written book that centers on one period in history, but is in fact a truth about anytime humanity exists. We saw dangerous words wielded to destroy during the Holocaust/2nd WW. We saw it happen in 40’s/50’s with McCarthyism and we see it now in 2024. The narrator is omniscient, because it’s death. Death sees all the destruction and the beauty and shares snippets with the reader throughout. Death follows the story of a little orphan girl, Liesel Meminger during her life as the foster daughter of Rosa and Hans Hubermann, living on Himmel St, in Molching, Germany. All of the characters feel real, are well fleshed out and as heartbreaking as this story is at times there is still joy to be found within their relationships.
