About the book
Michael Berg, a German teenager, has a passionate and secret romance with Hanna Schmitz, a mysterious woman who suddenly disappears from his life. Years later, during a war crimes trial, Michael rediscovers Hanna and confronts disturbing truths about her past, about guilt and redemption. This masterful novel by Bernhard Schlink weaves together questions of historical responsibility, love, and the redemptive power of literature, exploring how truth can be as painful as it is liberating.
