\"A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.\" - Kirkus Reviews(starred review)
\n\"The Granddaughter\'s premise will feel familiar to readers of Schlink\'s previous novels--including the bestselling The Reader (1995) . . . many of which use individual relationships as proxies for examining the ongoing legacies of World War II and the Cold War in his native country. . . . [Schlink] writes instructive tales that adeptly raise difficult questions and propose appealing answers.\" - New York Times Book Review
\n\"The Granddaughter captures something important about contemporary Germany, lost amid countless news articles about the woes of a once mighty economy and the swift rise of the far-right party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland), especially among the Ossis, as those from the East are called. The weight of the past hasn\'t disappeared, it has shape-shifted. Perpetrators are dead, but the record of their evil deeds lives on. How best to cope? Schlink has his doppelgänger provide an answer.\" - Washington Post
\n\"Compelling...Schlink does a superb job of character development and sensitively charts the evolving relationship between Kaspar and Sigrun. . . . well plotted and unfailingly interesting, building suspense as readers wonder what will happen to Sigrun as she becomes a young woman.\" - Booklist (starred review)
\n\"Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel . . . Schlink remains a perceptive chronicler of modern Germany.\" - The Guardian
\n\"Schlink offers an unflinching look at the neo-Nazi movement and the compromises people make out of love. It\'s a powerful story of loss and the desire to move forward.\" - Publishers Weekly
\n\"Mr. Schlink\'s timing is . . . astute. The rise of antisemitism and right-wing nationalism across Europe and the U.S. imbues The Granddaughter with a wider, more profound resonance.\" - Wall Street Journal
\n\"Author Bernhard Schlink . . . is perhaps best known for his book The Reader, which was adapted into a critically acclaimed film starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes. The Granddaughter is a worthy follow up.\" - Town & Country
\n\"The Granddaughter is the great novel of German reunification . . . a perfect blend of sadness and tenderness.\" - Le Figaro
\n\"Some great novels manage to encapsulate an entire era, showing how history makes its way into the innermost recesses of families and individuals. Such is the case with War and Peace, in its epic style, and such is the case, for a very different subject, with Bernhard Schlink\'s new book, The Granddaughter.\" - Le Monde
\n\"Bernhard Schlink is one of the greatest talents in contemporary German literature. He is a sensitive, keenly observant and extremely intelligent storyteller. His prose is clear, precise and beautifully elegant.\" - Frankfurter Neue Presse
