The woman in question is Hanna and before long they embark on a passionate, clandestine love affair which leaves Michael both euphoric and confused. For Hanna is not all she seems. Years later, as a law student observing a trial in Germany, Michael is shocked to realise that the person in the dock is Hanna. We all have secrets and the characters in The Reader are no different. Bernhard Schlink does an excellent job revealing all of the deepest darkest secrets of his characters. What is so realistic and amazing about this novel is that our perceptions of what we should hide from others is challenged.
