She doesn't know how she could possibly not like it. It's one of the most wonderful things anyone has ever done for her, right up there with The Word Shaker. She wishes Max were here to meet Marius; she thinks they'd get along very well, and Max needed friends. But he's not here, so she can only hope that whatever happened back home he's alive and safe.
"It's wonderful," she tells him, smiling brightly. "I don't have any books of my own in Darrow, so this one will be extra special."
She'll start her collection with this, a book that was not stolen but gifted, and she'll treasure it. So often the books she's stolen have been linked to awful memories, but this book is something different. It marks something lovely, something she can remember fondly. She doesn't think she'll ever be able to pay Marius back for such a present, but she intends to try.
"I'm going to read it to her," Liesel explains. "Do you know Saoirse? She lives here, only she doesn't speak. I thought she might like listening to stories instead."
