He sorely needs the money, and outwitting the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city is a challenge he can't resist.Soon Lucien is hiding more souls and saving lives. But when one of his hideouts fails horribly, and the problem of where to conceal a Jew becomes much more personal, and he can no longer ignore what's at stake."A beautiful and elegant account of an ordinary man's unexpected and reluctant descent into heroism during the second world war."—Malcolm GladwellBook clubs will pore over the questions Charles Belfoure raises about justice, resistance, and just how far we'll go to make things right.
