The latest Israeli bestseller list, compiled by "Israel Hayom" based on data from Steimatzky, Tzomet Sfarim, and Hebrew websites, features a notable return: Ari Shavit's "Bennett - Real Time" has re-entered the rankings after four weeks. The book, which examines the former prime minister's tenure, is listed in the non-fiction category.
This week's list also marks the passing of British author Jeffrey Archer, known for his prolific sales and involvement in public scandals, including his time as deputy chairman of the Conservative Party under Margaret Thatcher. His latest historical romance novel, "William and Catherine," was released just before his death at age 86.
David Grossman's "Words, Where Are You?" reclaimed the top spot in the fiction category, having spent seven weeks on the chart. Other returning titles include Eshkol Nevo's "The Longest Night," Ann Ross's "Omar's Night," and Jonathan Sacks' "Celebrating Life."
New entries and notable positions include Avintan Orr's "Through the Earth" and Omer Sham Tov's "Meeting Myself in Hell," both by hostage survivors, which are listed under non-fiction. Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon's "The Missing" also made a strong showing in the thriller category, as did Lucinda Riley's "The Seven Sisters" and Alex Michaelides' "The Silent Patient," the latter being the longest-standing book on the list.
