Description
A haunting and formally beautiful novel about love, secrets, and morality set against the backdrop of postwar Germany. When 15-year-old Michael Berg falls ill, he is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. Their relationship becomes complex, with Hanna's disappearance leaving Michael to wonder if she is hiding something. Years later, when Michael encounters Hanna again, he realizes that her silence may be more than just a refusal to defend herself - it may be a desperate attempt to conceal a secret. As the truth about Hanna's past slowly unravels, Michael is forced to confront the darker aspects of human nature and the devastating consequences of secrets kept.
