A profoundly moving novel that delves into the enduring themes of betrayal, guilt, and memory, set against the stark backdrop of the Holocaust. This international bestseller introduces 15-year-old Michael Berg, whose unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Hanna blossoms into a passionate, secret love affair, leaving him awash in euphoria and bewilderment. Hanna, however, harbors hidden depths. Years later, as a law student witnessing a trial in Germany, Michael is stunned to discover Hanna in the defendant’s dock. The woman he once loved stands accused of heinous crimes, and her actions during the proceedings are baffling. Then, in a sudden and devastating revelation, the truth becomes chillingly clear: Hanna must not only account for a terrible offense but is also desperately guarding an even more profound secret. This tender yet horrifying narrative masterfully explores the complexities of the Holocaust through fiction, weaving together elements of a thrilling mystery, a poignant love story, and a deeply affecting examination of a German conscience.
