Today I have a double whammy for you: a book and film.

-

And the book and the film are about a book thief.

-

In her return to the podcast, Yessica from @ourconversationclub talks to us about this fictional book and the film that came from it.

-

The book is based in Germany, in a fictional town, during World War 2.

-

Narrated by Death, the story follows young Liesel Meminger, who lives with her foster parents in Nazi Germany.

-

After the death of her brother, Liesel decides to steal her first book, hence becoming the Book Thief. Hans, her foster father develops a close relationship with Liesel and helps her to read.

-

So what can I get out of the book and film? Both the book and film bring out a lot of emotions, mainly sadness and fear, due to the time they are set in, therefore you'll find some very beautiful language to describe the harrowing situations.
