The Weekend | Bernhard Schlink
149 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
The author of international phenomenon THE READER returns with a tale of old jealousies, explosive politics and uncertain futures. Meet the Baader-Meinhof Group, 25 years on... 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 judgements 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. After 24 years, Joerg - a convicted murderer and terrorist, is released from prison on a pardon. A former member of the Red Army Faction (or Baader-Meinhof Group), the announcement of Joerg's release is sure to send shock waves throughout Germany. But before this happens, his group of friends - most of whom had been RAF sympathizers - gather for his first weekend of freedom. They are invited by Christiane, Joerg's devoted sister, whose suffocating concern for her brother is matched only by the unrelenting pull of Marcko, a dangerously passionate young man intent on using Joerg to continue the cause.

#WeekendReads

1 ? Always reading too many books but the ones I'm really into rn are "The Golden Compass" by Philip Pullman and "The Silence of the Lambs" by Thomas Harris ☕️

2 ? "Two Truths and a Lie: A Murder, a Private Investigator, and Her Search for Justice" by Ellen McGarrahan ☕️

3 ? Definitely "The Golden Compass" (Book 1 of His Dark Materials series) ☕️

A migraine derailed my #24B4Monday readathon plans. I got very little (reading or anything else) done yesterday. But I did manage to finish 2 physical books and an audiobook over the weekend. Of the three, CoBaB was by far the best.
