The Weekend by Bernhard Schlink
A group of old friends reunites for a weekend in a secluded country house, grappling with the past and the present as they confront the release of one of their own from prison. The former terrorist, recently pardoned after serving decades for his involvement in a violent political movement, becomes the focal point of intense discussions and introspection. As the weekend unfolds, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested, and each character is forced to confront their own beliefs and the choices that have shaped their lives. The gathering becomes a microcosm of the broader societal tensions and moral ambiguities that linger long after the political fervor has faded.
