È il 1939 nella Germania nazista. Tutto il Paese è col fiato sospeso. La Morte non ha mai avuto tanto da fare, ed è solo l'inizio. Il giorno del funerale del suo fratellino, Liesel Meminger raccoglie un oggetto seminascosto nella neve, qualcosa di sconosciuto e confortante al tempo stesso, un libriccino abbandonato lì, forse, o dimenticato dai custodi del minuscolo cimitero. Liesel non ci pensa due volte, le pare un segno, la prova tangibile di un ricordo per il futuro: lo ruba e lo porta con sé. Così comincia la storia di una piccola ladra, la storia d'amore di Liesel con i libri e con le parole, che per lei diventano un talismano contro l'orrore che la circonda. Grazie al padre adottivo impara a leggere e ben presto si fa più esperta e temeraria: prima strappa i libri ai roghi nazisti perché «ai tedeschi piaceva bruciare cose. Negozi, sinagoghe, case e libri», poi li sottrae dalla biblioteca della moglie del sindaco, e interviene tutte le volte che ce n'è uno in pericolo. Lei li salva, come farebbe con qualsiasi creatura. Ma i tempi si fanno sempre più difficili. Quando la famiglia putativa di Liesel nasconde un ebreo in cantina, il mondo della ragazzina all'improvviso diventa più piccolo. E, al contempo, più vasto.

“Gaffney’s characters are appealing and realistic…Readers will race through this book.” —New Orleans Times Picayune “Poignant….Entertaining….As good as it gets.” —New York Post No other author writes about the lives and friendships of women with more warmth and grace than New York Times bestseller Patricia Gaffney. A true master of women’s fiction, with Circle of Three she flourishes the same breathtaking characterization and storytelling skills that made her previous novel, The Saving Graces, a readers’ favorite. The story of a woman grieving for her losses and her life, and her relationship with her overbearing mother and precocious young daughter, Circle of Three focuses on three generations of a troubled family, the anger and misunderstanding that separates them…and the love that holds them together. Gaffney does beautifully what Elizabeth Berg, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Anne Tyler also do so well: exploring the tricky bonds of family in novels both heart-soaring and heartbreaking.
