About this listen
'The great novel of German reunification' Le Figaro
'A masterpiece' Maurice Szafran
'A rewarding and wonderfully readable novel ... Schlink remains a perceptive chronicler of modern Germany' Guardian
May, 1964. At a youth festival in East Berlin, an unlikely young couple fall in love. In the bright spring days, anything seems possible for them - it is only many years later, after her death, that Kaspar discovers the price his wife paid to get to him in West Berlin.
Shattered by grief, Kaspar sets off to uncover Birgit's secrets in the East. His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, and to a young girl who accepts him as her grandfather. Their worlds could not be more different - but he is determined to fight for her.
From the author of the no.1 international bestseller The Reader, The Granddaughter is a gripping novel that transports us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to contemporary Australia, asking what might be found when it seems like all is lost.

Such gentle insight
A beautiful rendition on so many levels. As a man to a woman who never really gave it all, trying to remedy wrongs but also for a little selfish reasons, ah but then.. the unexpected joy of a grandchild, in whichever forms it present, fleeting as it is,
