Helpful Score: 1
Engrossing. Compelling. Can a Nazi war criminal be sympathetic? In the postmodern world is there any morality - any right or wrong? This postmodern novel addresses victim and perpetrator in a psychological novel of seduction. Michael Berg is a 15 year-old German student when he falls in love with 36 year-old Hanna Schmitz. Their relationship is tender, and haunting. I found this novel a juxtaposition of victim/perpetrator, love/hate and a Germany struggling to deal with the second generation and survivors of the Holocaust.
