The tale begins in glimpses and flashes. As Death carries out his daily work gathering souls, he keeps crossing paths with a young foster girl named Liesel living on the outskirts of Munich. Death shares her story as she learns to read, befriends the Jewish man in her basement, and avoids the regular requests for kisses from her best friend, Rudy. Liesel has known little but loss in her short life, and despite her strong sense of justice, she begins to steal books. Thus, Death nicknames her The Book Thief.

In a story so captivating that Death itself can’t look away, The Book Thief audiobook inspires joy, anger, laughter, heartbreak, and most of all, love. Audie-award winning narrator Allan Corduner lends his calm, quietly humorous tone to Death’s very own surprisingly chatty voice, making this work seem as though it were created for listening to all along.

The Book Thief has transcended best-seller lists, becoming an all-time favourite and genuine must listen (and re-listen) for Audible audiobook fans around the world. It has been translated into more than 60 languages, sold more than 16 million copies, and has been turned into a feature film starring Canadian actress Sophie Nélisse in the lead role as Liesel.

This is a performance that will capture the imagination as much as the heart, and leave listeners teary-eyed and ready to immediately hit replay.
