One of the building’s tenants, 36-year-old Hanna Schmitz rescues him, cleaning him up and bringing him.
In Part 1, a 15-year-old Michael is on his way home when he becomes violently ill by the side of a building. “What is longing? Sometimes it’s like an object that can’t be ignored, can’t be moved, that often blocks the way, but belongs in the room.” More about author Bernhard Schlink Bernhard Schlink is a German lawyer, academic and novelist. The narrator, Michael Berg, tells the story of his teenage affair with a former Nazi prison guard and its aftermath. It was a place of equality, and death had lost its horror.” “Everyone lay together, from the Indians who had died of the past to people of today who had died of the present. But because he was no longer a child, she sensed in his longing, in his question, in his running, a desperation of which he was not yet aware.” “His longing touched her like the longing of a child for the world. The fact that they became friends with her so quickly showed how lonely they had been without knowing it.” “Herbert and Victoria found Olga’s interest in their world, her curiosity and admiration, irresistible. Schlink’s writing style is a union of opposites and joins together simple language and the complicated jumble of life which it describes. In fact, it is the opposite: the uncomplicated writing style means the reader becomes privy to complex characters, and their intricate and messy feelings. The style is simple, almost too simple, because the book reads so easily, but just because it is simple does not mean it is not well crafted.
Rather like Marmite, some will love it and some will just not enjoy it. The writing style is unique and thus will not be for everyone. Even though Olga does move quickly, often skipping over decades, the story is not one for adrenaline-junkie readers, but rather for the more slower, more intent reader. A post shared by Hello, its katie here should not look simply for an adventurous and fast-paced novel here.
