We started at 1918, bringing you the bestselling books of the last one hundred years. We’re moving along now, though it may be a while before we’ve covered the whole hundred years!
We’re covering each year at a time and we’re now well into the 1940s where today we take a look at the bestselling books of 1946.
In 1946 with the war finally over, the Nuremberg trials began, the first car phones appeared in the US (yes, really!) and the bikini made its first appearance on the catwalk.
Among all that, there were plenty of books published and read too, and today we’re featuring the bestselling novels of 1946, and some that didn’t make the list
1946 also saw the release of Albert Camus’, The Stranger, and All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren.
We’ll continue this series right through to 2018, keep an eye out for 1947, coming soon!
