Publishers Description: An unforgettable historical debut set in Second World War Brussels: exploring love, resistance and courage in all their forms I adored it ... It finds courage and love amidst the ruins, and I read with my heart in my mouth Rachel Joyce A beautiful and deeply engaging novel Ann Patchett A richly textured, finely written, deeply thoughtful novel William Boyd A compelling and beautiful read Abraham Verghese ___________________________________ Charlotte Sauvin has always seen the world differently. At home on 33 Place Brugmann, in the heart of Brussels, her father and her closest friends and neighbours - the Rapha«ls from the fourth floor, and Masha from the fifth - have ensured her secret is safe. But when the Nazis invade Belgium, and Masha and the Rapha«ls disappear, Charlotte must navigate her new world alone. Over the border and across the sea, in occupied Paris and battered Blitz London, Masha and the Raphaels are reinventing themselves - as refugees, nurses, soldiers, heroes. Though scattered far and wide, they dream of only one place, one home: 33 Place Brugmann. But back at Place Brugmann, Charlotte feels impending danger closing in. Who can she trust in this world - where everyone is watching, and everyone is harbouring their own secrets As the months pass, and the shadow of war darkens, Charlotte and her neighbours must face what - and who - truly matters to them most - and summon the courage to fight for more than just survival. With soaring imagination and profound intimacy, 33 Place Brugmann is a captivating and devastating celebration of the power of love, courage and art in times of great threat.
