The Goldfinch

Show Notes

Lisa and her guest Storm Kopitsch, youth services coordinator for the Fowlerville, Michigan Library, have a compelling discussion about The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. This is a historic fiction about World War II where the narrator is Death. 

 Lisa and Storm discuss whether this book is best suited for youth audiences or adults. The New York Times says that teens might find the story a bit too slow. There are spoilers in this show.
