After Michael finds out that Hanna is gone he goes into a major depression. He can't eat, sleep, or even socialize with his friends. He constantly hurts and yearns for Hanna. He feels like he needs to be close to her, or needs to hear her voice. He misses the way their bodies used to touch, he misses everything about her. His feeling of loneliness continues for about a month.
I feel bad for Michael, no young teenager should have to deal with a loss like this. He probably knew what he was getting himself into since he was so involved with an older woman. He seems like a pretty smart kid so I would assume that Michael didn't think that relationship would last forever.
After a few months Michael eventually stops thinking about Hanna. He doesn't walk by her house, or feel like it was his fault anymore. Soon enough all traces of her are gone, its like she never existed. But a couple years later Michael was in for a big surprise.
Michael grows up to be a lawyer. He is in college working his butt off like most of his colleagues. Pretty soon a trial comes up and him along with some other students are asked if they would like to help out. This was every ones first trial so no one really knew what to expect. The trial begins with probably seven or so defendants being charged with felonies dealing with Nazi camps. All of the defendants are women. They were all guards for different camps, in charge of sending people away from the camp, to be put to death, and bringing in new people, to work. A couple of days into the trial the fourth defendant is called to the stand. Michael can't believe his eyes, the fourth defendant was Hanna.
I personally enjoyed this part of the book. It was very suspenseful and I had no idea what was going to happen. I couldn't put the book down. I am still curious about the next couple of chapters, I want to see how Michael handles seeing Hanna again; and if Hanna recognizes Michael. I'll keep you updated.
