The weekend

Bernhard Schlink burst onto the literary scene with the internationally best-selling Oprah?s Book Club® selection The Reader. Through his unique brand of gripping narrative, Schlink scores again with The Weekend, the tale of old friends who come together for a remarkable reunion. One of the group is a convicted murderer and terrorist, fresh out of prison and joined by his devoted sister. But another guest has remained true to the cause that might spell trouble for them all.

  • "Nach zwanzig Jahren im Gefängnis ist er überraschend begnadigt worden. Christiane, seine Schwester, will sein erstes Wochenende in Freiheit mit einem Dutzend alter Freunde feiern, in einer verfallenen Villa auf dem Land, ohne Reporter und Kameras. Der Journalist Henner, die Lehrerin Ilse, der Geschäftsmann Ulrich mit Frau und Tochter, Karin, Bischöfin einer kleinen Landeskirche, der Rechtsanwalt Andreas - sie alle haben damals in irgendeiner Form mit der Revolution sympathisiert. Heute haben sie ihren festen Platz im bürgerlichen Leben. Sie kommen aus Loyalität, aus Nostalgie, aus Neugier. Sie wollen gern raten und helfen und zugleich Distanz wahren. Aber sie können sich der Konfrontation mit ihrer eigenen Biographie, ihren Lebensträumen und Lebenslügen nicht entziehen. Die Vergangenheit wird lebendig. - Mit der atmosphärischen Intensität eines Kammerspiels wird Bilanz gezogen. (Umschlagtext)."

  • "Old friends and lovers reunite for a weekend in a secluded country home after spending decades apart. They plumb their memories of each other and pass quiet judgments on the life decisions each has made since their youth. This isn't, however, just any old reunion, and their conversations of the old days aren't typical reminiscences."
