Did you miss reading this book initially? Perhaps the movie version has inspired you to check out the book which was an "Oprah's Book Club" selection! Kirkus Reviews gave the following details about the popular book. "A compact portrayal of a teenaged German boy's love affair with an emotionally remote older woman.... Seven years after their intimacy, university student Michael Berg accidentally learns that (now) 40ish Hannah Schmitz had concealed from him a past that reaches back to Auschwitz.... Toward its climax, the novel becomes, fitfully, frustratingly abstract, but on balance this is a gripping psychological study that moves skillfully toward its surprising and moving conclusion.”
