Flights of Love Author:Bernhard Schlink, John E. Woods (Translator) From the internationally best-selling author of The Reader, here is a collection of stories that weave themselves around the idea of love—love to seek and love to flee; love as desire, as guilt, as confusion or self-betrayal; love as habit, as affair, and as life-changing rebellion. — As his myriad fans know from The Reader, B... more »ernhard Schlink’s power as a storyteller resides in his cool compassion and in the intelligence that he wields like a laser to penetrate human motives and human behavior. Here his subject is not history but the heart itself, and with the forensic delicacy of a master he lays bare the essence of our feelings.
Already an enormous success in the author’s native Germany, Flights of Love is certain to be celebrated, discussed, read and re-read.
Classic Schlink....the endings always left me with that feeling of "that's how it's going to end?!" Just like The Reader. This book is comprised of 6 tales, so it is easy to read and put down for a few days then pick up again with no problems.
