This is a softcover book, The Reader by German law professor and judge Bernhard Schlink (1997). Said to be written as a parable, dealing with the difficulties post-war German generations have had comprehending the Holocaust, the Los Angeles Times described it as "a formally beautiful, disturbing and finally morally devastating novel." It was also a 1999 Oprah's Book Club selection. Here's a synopsis:
"When he falls ill on his way home from school, fifteen-year-old Michael Berg is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. In time she becomes his lover - then she inexplicably disappears. When Michael next sees her, he is a young law student, and she is on trial for a hideous crime. As he watches her refuse to defend her innocence, Michael gradually realizes that Hanna may be guarding a secret she considers more shameful than murder."

I sell a lot of items on Craigslist, so please take a look at my other stuff (sometimes free items as well). I come from a huge family of serious hoarders, so... Well, some people have yard sales, but I'm not able to do that, so I do this instead. It clears out the house and helps me get the last of my kids through college. All you have to do is search the word SALMAGUNDI on Craigslist, and all of my items should come up for you.
