New Passengers

On her first day of work as a teacher, a young woman meets a married man on the train. They begin an affair, a ride which proves as jolting as her transition into the new job and the authority that comes along with it.`New Passengers` is as audacious as it is enthralling, as wry as it is moving. Eliciting the speed of an express train and the immediacy of a text message, every line shimmers with quick-witted insight as Hoeg casts a critical eye on the social mores that shape our lives. Winner of the Bogforum`s Debutantpris, the prize awarded each year for Denmark`s best fiction debut, the novel was adapted for the stage at the Royal Danish Theatre.Translated by Misha Hoekstra
