"Wonderful reading." --Scott Turow, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Presumed Innocent
An extraordinarily accomplished debut novel--a love story, mystery, and philosophical puzzle--told in the singular voices of the residents of a Beaux Arts apartment building in Belgium in 1939
On the eve of the Nazi occupation, in the heart of Brussels, life for the residents of eight apartments at 33 Place Brugmann is about to change forever.
Art student Charlotte Sauvin, daughter of a prominent architect in apartment 4L, knows all the details of the building and its people: how light falls and voices echo, the distinct knock of her dearest friend, Julian Rapha?l, the eldest son of an art collector's family across the hall in 4R. But all that's familiar for Charlotte and the other residents of 33 starts to fracture as whispers of occupation become reality. The Rapha?ls disappear--becoming refugees, nurses, soldiers, reluctant heroes. Masha, the seamstress on the 5th floor, deepens a dangerous affair with a wartime compatriot of Colonel Warlemont in 3R, a man far less feckless than he'd have his neighbors believe. In the face of a perilous new reality, every member of this accidental community will discover they are not the person they believed themselves to be. When confronted with a cruel choice--submit to the regime or risk their lives to resist--each learns the truth about what, and who, matters to them the most.
33 Place Brugmann is a deeply empathetic and disarmingly hopeful tour-de-force about love, courage, and the role of art in a time of threat
