The story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, had an affair with an older woman, Hanna, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. He alone realizes that Hanna is illiterate and may be concealing that fact at the expense of her freedom.

"The book was horrible or at least the translation was I guess. The subject matter is interesting but the way the characters were written I couldn’t get any feeling of empathy for any of them. So it made for a very boring read. So when the movie came out, I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it is. The only reason I’m attracted to the book/ movie is because I like WWII human interest stories and this one was quite different from the usual. The movie gives the feel of a foreign film and it’s one that will leave you thinking about the subject matter for days."
