The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure

The story revolves around an architect, who is hired to make alterations to existing houses to hide Jews in Paris during WWII. For this he is rewarded with further commissions reflecting his dream projects. The first half of the book just scratches the surface of human emotions. It gets deeper in the second half. There is a lot of stress on French people hating the Jewry. The plot is pretty simple, but with some nuances it keeps the story interesting. The prose is simple. The book is a very quick easy read. @Facebook/BestHistoricalFiction
