Bernhard Schlink
The Granddaughter

Only in the UK for a select few events, we are delighted to welcome the internationally bestselling author of The Reader with his stunning new novel about intergenerational friendship and German reunification.
Moral conflict, the rise of modern populism and radicalisation are some of the themes that Schlink will discuss as he deconstructs modern Germany, from the end of World War II to the years following unification, and the difficulties a riven nation faces as it tries to create a common homeland again.
‘The great novel of German reunification.’ – Le Figaro
Journalist and broadcaster Robin Lustig will be in conversation with Bernhard Schlink.
