Late Life

You are seventy-six years old, you have a young wife and a six-year-old child, and you have only a few months left to live. How will you spend them?
Martin, a former teacher, lawyer, and legal historian, learns that he has... a terminal diagnosis, and now he must plan the remainder of his life. What do you want to accomplish, knowing that in a few months those you love will part from you forever? What can you bequeath them — what shared deeds, what memories, what feelings? Should you bequeath something? Important scientific articles, a letter to your son, freedom for your wife? And what surprises can late life bring?
Bernhard Schlink, a contemporary classic of German literature, recipient of numerous literary awards, author of the bestsellers "The Reader" and "The Granddaughter," has written a new novel — about love and its unexpected faces and about quiet courage in the face of the inevitable.
