What We're Reading: Laurie


The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

In postwar Germany unfolds the story of teen Michael Berg who meets and falls in love with Hanna, a woman twice his age. Michael and Hanna develop a deep relationship and then Hanna suddenly disappears. The next time Michael sees Hanna, he is a young law student, and she is on trial for a terrible crime. Michael is shocked and unable to comprehend why Hanna refuses to defend herself in court. Could she possibly be keeping a secret more shameful than murder?
