In Brussels in 1942, Joseph, a seven-year-old Jewish boy, is hidden by his mother to escape the roundups. First the Countess de Sully takes him in, then she hands him to a priest, who takes him to the Catholic boarding school Villa Amarilla. Under the protection of Father Pons, the boy discovers that the priest has built a synagogue beneath the church to preserve Jewish culture in the midst of the Holocaust.
The novel belongs to the cycle «Le Cycle de l'invisible», of which it is the fourth installment, and was published in the Panorama de narrativas collection (number 603). Translation by Javier Calzada.
