I then read/listened to The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. I LOVED this book. I can’t fully explain why but I do. I borrowed this from a friend so I have added it to my growing list of “books already read that must be purchasedâ€. I loved how the author humanized these characters. I was very uncomfortable with the relationship at the start but you grow to appreciate the characters and what they went through in their various life stages.
