Parisian architect

Dublin Prize Finalist 2015

New York Times Bestseller

Nazi-occupied Paris during World War II appears before the reader with hypnotic conviction and from a completely unexpected perspective. Avant-garde architect Lucien Bernard does not have much sympathy for the Jews who fell victim to fascist terror, but when a wealthy businessman suddenly offers him a large sum of money to create secret hiding places for victims of repression, he finds himself faced with a difficult choice: either risk his life or abandon a cause in the success of which he does not believe... With each page, this story becomes more and more fascinating, because its author is not only an expert on architecture, but also on the secret corners of the human soul.
