A review by joynerperez
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

4.0

Captivating, moving and poignant. A compelling reminder that we can't escape our past, no matter how far we run. Schlink weaves his themes of atonement, redemption, and absolution (whether achieved or not) in a swift pseudo-memoir that ultimately, much like is often the case in life, is not entirely satisfying in its resolution.
