Özet
 Like most gentiles in Nazi-occupied Paris, architect Lucien Bernard has little empathy for the Jews. So when a wealthy industrialist offers him a large sum of money to devise secret hiding places for Jews, Lucien struggles with the choice of risking his life for a cause he doesn't really believe in. Ultimately he can't resist the challenge and begins designing expertly concealed hiding spaces—behind a painting, within a column, or inside a drainpipe—detecting possibilities invisible to the average eye. But when one of his clever hiding spaces fails horribly and the immense suffering of Jews becomes incredibly personal, he can no longer deny reality.

Written by an expert whose knowledge imbues every word, this story becomes more gripping with every life the architect tries to save. 20th Century Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Jewish Kurgu Literary Fiction War & Military World Literature Askeri Savaş

German occupied Paris 1942 - Lucien Bernard, a talented young Architect, who, like so many non-Jews in France at that time, were unmoved and unsympathetic at the treatment and murder of Jews, which they witnessed whilst walking through the streets of Paris, almost on a daily basis.

Until the offer of a vast amount of money to design a unique and brilliant hiding place for those desperate to escape certain death if captured, begins a journey for him where the inner discovery of his humanity surfaces when one of the hiding places is discovered.

On an emotional level this is a book that pulls at the heart, exposes the heinous acts that occurred without mercy as well as the acts of pure bravery displayed by many others.

The book suffers a little from rather immature writing in many places. The reader needs to ignore the modern day 'cliches' and much dialogue that does not belong in 1942.

That being said the story is gripping and heart rending and it is, overall, a great read.
