A review by softrosemint
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

5.0

To me, this was a stunning and thought-provoking mediation on morality and the conscious of a nation. Schlink achieves with fascinating effectiveness to make the reader complicit in a moral dilemma, the likes of which we do not seem to like to ponder much nowadays.

I did not expect for this novel to engage me quite like it did and for that experience, I am grateful.
