Book Summary

The Reader follows Michael Berg, a German teenager who becomes involved in a complicated relationship with Hanna Schmitz, an older woman. Years later, Michael encounters Hanna again under very different circumstances and discovers a troubling secret about her past during Nazi Germany. Their relationship forces him to confront difficult questions about guilt, shame, responsibility, love, and the legacy of the Holocaust. The novel explores how individuals deal with the moral consequences of the past and how historical events can continue to affect later generations.
