Address Unknown is a very slight book. It is told in letters between Max Eisenstein in the US and Martin Schulz in Germany, and begins in 1932. They are business partners, and friends, both have fond memories of Germany, where Martin is originally from. And both seem to start out with similar beliefs and politics. But then comes the rise of Hitler, and where Max sees cause for alarm Martin sees a chance for humiliated Germany to rise up.

I had never heard of this book before it was sent back to HQ from one of the branch libraries and a workmate recommended I take a look, before sending it back out, because it is too good a book to keep hidden in our stores. And it was both written in and set in the 1930s, just what I was looking for for Nymeth’s challenge.
