The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
A 15 year-old boy has hepatitis, and one day on the street becomes extremely ill. A young woman comes to his rescue, takes him to her apartment, helps to clean him up and then delivers him home. We learn what happens when he has recovered and takes her a bunch of flowers, and then again much later. It is a riveting and intriguing story written in two quite separate parts.
