The Reader – Bernhard Schlink (2003 Paperback, Second-Hand Book)
Bernhard Schlink’s internationally acclaimed novel of love, guilt, memory and the lasting consequences of Germany’s past.
The Reader tells the story of Michael Berg, a fifteen-year-old boy who becomes involved in a secret relationship with Hanna, an older woman. Years later, while studying law, Michael encounters Hanna again under circumstances that force him to confront disturbing truths about her past and his own memories of their relationship.
Translated from the German by Carol Brown Janeway, Schlink’s powerful and thought-provoking novel explores personal responsibility, shame, morality and the complex ways individuals confront the legacy of the Holocaust.
