I’ve delved into numerous WWII novels, and this one truly captivated me. Belfoure’s writing style is exceptional, and the characters, particularly Lucien, stood out to me. Initially, Lucien lacks empathy for the Jews in German-occupied Paris, but as he begins working for a wealthy Parisian sympathetic to their plight, he undergoes a transformation, recognizing the value of all human lives. What sets this book apart for me is its unique plot within the WWII genre, keeping me thoroughly engaged throughout. However, a word of caution: there are graphic descriptions of torture in various parts of the story, not suitable for the faint-hearted. I also appreciated Belfoure’s fair treatment of both the French and Germans in the narrative, highlighting that there was both good and evil on both sides of the war. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in WWII literature or simply a compelling tale of good prevailing over evil.

I appreciated the portrayal of a virtuous individual during wartime in this story. However, I found the descriptions of Jewish people offensive. It’s essential to remember that physical characteristics like nose size do not determine a person’s ethnicity or religious background, as individuals from various backgrounds may have similar features. That being said, I would classify this book as an average read for me.

Audiobook The Paris Architect by Cris Dukehart
From the very start to the finish, you won’t want to set it aside. It’s a powerful reminder that there is hope for all of humanity, and it teaches us not to judge people by their appearances alone. Not all Germans supported Hitler’s war and the terrible acts of terror and torture against humanity, as this story vividly illustrates. Let us hope that history never repeats itself.

I had hoped to award this book a 5-star rating, but the writing and character development left much to be desired for me. While the plot maintained its strength and continued to be compelling, the writing style began to grate on me. It’s important to note that there are graphic and deeply disturbing descriptions of torture in the book, though they are brief and not gratuitous, they are rightfully unsettling. I found myself quickly skimming through those paragraphs.
The story revolves around an unlikely and initially unlikable hero, Lucien Bernard, a modernist architect in German-occupied Paris during WWII. He is grappling with financial difficulties when he is approached to design hiding places for Jews within existing buildings, albeit reluctantly, driven by financial gain. Lucien holds some prejudices against Jews, but he also harbors disdain for the Nazis. He continues to design hiding places while concurrently constructing factories for the Nazis, motivated by money and prestige. It is only when one of his hiding places fails, resulting in the death of a couple, that the harsh reality of his actions begins to dawn on him. He becomes deeply involved, hiding a Jewish boy in his own home and growing to regard him as a son. Revealing more details would spoil the intricate plot twists and turns.
This story boasts a well-crafted plot that shed light on lesser-known aspects of occupied Paris. I devoured the book in just a few days; it was engrossing and heart-pounding, keeping me on the edge of my seat. I particularly appreciated that Lucien was portrayed as a flawed hero, characterized by selfishness and a lack of humility. This was a refreshing departure from the more common self-sacrificing heroes found in many WWII and Holocaust novels. However, the writing falls short. Lucien is the most complex character, yet even he remains somewhat underdeveloped. The remaining characters are almost caricatures, especially the Nazis. The author’s weakest point lies in the dialogue, which often feels stiff and unnatural. I cannot be certain, but some of the word choices and phrases may be anachronistic. Unfortunately, these writing issues detract from an otherwise excellent story. If you’re not overly particular about writing style, this book has a lot to offer. The author has a second book out, and I am undecided about whether I will read it.
