One of the first few things i did when school finished for term 2 was go straight to my public library. Teaching does not give you the time or luxury of reading.
And so i came across this book whilst browsing the random shelves of books at the willagee library. i love that library....... its a little run down.......its smack bang in the middle of the burbs and its chock full of good books. No one goes there unlike all the other libraries... which means you can pretty much go there and guarenteed to come out with a bag full of books. :o)
So when i came across this book, i quickly read the blurbs at the back and it sounded interesting. it definitely piqued my interest. i think i could have heard about it or seen it somewhere - or someone could have recommended it to me, i dont know - im just glad i took the book home. i havent read such a good, deep, meaningful and thoughtful book in such a long time. it is a sad story and it will make you cry, but there are also many beautiful moments in the book that will make you laugh out loud and smile. Its about a little german girl who cant read but becomes entranced with the magic of words. its set during world war 2 under nazi germany in a small town called molching.
Definitely a worthwhile read 10/10
variations in the book cover - something interesting i found while googling more information on the book. i read the book with cover number 2 :o)
luv.clio
