Episode 23 covers Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. This historical fiction novel is the story of Liesel Memninger, a girl living in Germany, whom we follow during the 1930s and 1940s, as told by the Grim Reaper.
Most of this story takes place during WWII so if you don't like stories about that period, even fictional, this book probably won't be for you.

Spoilers for the entire book ahead. This will be more interesting if you've read the story. I do not intend for this to replace reading the book and I leave lots of details out (really, a LOT). Please, if you're interested in still reading this, go read the book and don't use this podcast episode as a substitute (you'll thank me). I don't own anything about the books I discuss.
