Description
A gifted architect accepts a commission that will bring him a great deal of money and maybe get him killed. In 1942 Paris, Lucien Bernard is tasked with designing a secret hiding place for a Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined German officer won't find it. As he works on this project, Lucien finds himself drawn into a world of resistance and heroism, where outwitting the Nazis becomes a challenge he can't resist. But when one of his hideouts fails horribly, the problem of where to conceal a Jew becomes much more personal, and he can no longer ignore what's at stake. This is a beautifully written account of an ordinary man's unexpected descent into heroism during World War II.
