Lost novel makes UK bestseller list 83 years on
A novel written about the persecution of Jews in Germany in 1938 but which was then forgotten about for 80 years has made it onto a UK bestsellers list.
Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz s The Passenger is about a Jewish man who - like the author - attempts to escape the rise of the Nazi regime.
It was rediscovered in 2018 after the author s niece told an editor about it.
The book has had stellar reviews and has now entered The Sunday Times list of top 10 hardback fiction bestsellers.
The UK edition sold almost 1,800 copies last week to put it at number 10 on the list.
