Holocaust. Love. Guilt. Betrayal. A rare powerful novel.

"The Reader by Prof Bernhard Schlink is a must-read for history aficionados. It offers a unique perspective on the Holocaust, seen through the eyes of a law student, who observes a trial involving his former lover, a criminal caught up in Nazi atrocities. The novel is at once a heartrending love story, a courtroom drama, and a poignant exploration of guilt and betrayal. A superbly written, thought-provoking book, The Reader will linger with you long after the last page is turned."

Description

For 15-year-old Michael Berg, a chance meeting with an older woman leads to far more than he ever imagined. The woman in question is Hanna, and before long they embark on a passionate, clandestine love affair which leaves Michael both euphoric and confused. For Hanna is not all she seems.Years later, as a law student observing a trial in Germany, Michael is shocked to realize that the person in the dock is Hanna. The woman he had loved is a criminal. Much about her behaviour during the trial does not make sense. But then suddenly, and terribly, it does - Hanna is not only obliged to answer for a horrible crime, she is also desperately concealing an even deeper secret
