Juli 1990 in Bargteheide A short introduction when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from The Odyssey, Huck Finn and The Lady with the Little Dog. Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hannas past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. My opinion Hanna does little to clear her name and it becomes evident to us and to Michael that this is in some way connected - I will say no more - with literacy. She is, apparently out of pride and shame, willing to accept greater blame than her co-defendants, a frumpy collection of middle-aged women, quite unlike the comely Hanna. Moreover, for a congeries of reasons, Michael doesnt come to her assistance. He feels betrayed, morally tainted, ethically disoriented and unforgiving. The end * *
