Hailed for its coiled eroticism and the moral claims it
makes upon the reader, this mesmerizing novel is a story of
love and secrets, horror and compassion, unfolding against
the haunted landscape of postwar Germany. When he falls ill on his way home from school, fifteen-year-
old Michael Berg is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his
age. In time she becomes his lover—then she inexplicably
disappears. When Michael next sees her, he is a young law
student, and she is on trial for a hideous crime. As he
watches her refuse to defend her innocence, Michael
gradually realizes that Hanna may be guarding a secret she
considers more shameful than murder.
