Book Club: The Granddaughter

Moderated by Marti Anderson.

The Granddaughter is a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter. More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.

Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins.

The Trinity Book Club meets the last Sunday of every month. No need to finish the books... but (spoiler alert!) we will discuss the endings. Join us!
