Page 100 - The Book Thief
P. 100

The dark, the light.


               What was the difference?


               Nightmares had reinforced themselves in each, as the book thief began to truly
               understand how things were and how they would always be. If nothing else, she
               could prepare herself. Perhaps thats why on the Fhrer s birthday, when the
               answer to the question of her mothers suffering showed itself completely, she
               was able to react, despite her perplexity and her rage.


               Liesel Meminger was ready.


               Happy birthday, Herr Hitler.


               Many happy returns.
