A review by kirkreads
Gertrude by Hermann Hesse

5.0

This book came as a surprise to me. It is the fourth novel that I have read by Hesse, but I connected with it on a more visceral level than the others. I felt the pain and unease of the narrator, as well as his happiness. It is difficult to review a book when it profoundly affects you. All that I can really state is, if you like Hesse, don't overlook this often forgotten novel.
