The Glass Room - Simon Mawer
On honeymoon in Venice in 1928, Viktor and Liesel Landauer face a new world when they meet brilliant architect Rainer von Abt. But as Viktor is Jewish , when Nazi troops arrive the family must flee.The house slips from hand to hand, Nazi to Soviet and finally to the Czechoslovak state. Soon, on a hillside near a provincial Czech town, the Landauer house with its celebrated Glass Room will become a modernist masterpiece of travertine floors and onyx walls, filled with light and optimism.
It becomes a laboratory, a shelter from the storm of war and a place where the broken and the ruined find some kind of comfort until, with the collapse of Communism, the Landauers can finally return to where their story began.
