very good book and deeply intelligent girl. i love her way to think and we share the same opinion about humanity.
the house here she had been trapped. i post this video because even after read the book, i'm been speechless when i saw this video and never imagined the way to go in her jail was SO creepy and complex.
at 1:52 the stairway lead to a cellar and they aren't in the garage anymore but in this cellar.
at 2:16 they show in tunnel entry into a strongbox hidden behind a cupboard.

"Chambre avec vue sur la guerre" by Edith Bouvier (32 years old) who's a french journaliste based in paris i know and someone i deeply love. her book has been published in french (for the moment) there are just few weeks ago and is about the 10 days she spent in Syria and where she and co-workers have been victims of attempted murders (she received several wounds at the left leg) and where american journalist Marie Colvin (56) and photographer Remi Ochlik (28) have been killed by syrian army in the city of Homs.
later, she discovered with the help of free syrian army that syrian gorverment asked them dead or live with all their journalist's stuff againts 1 millions of dollars. of course their deaths would been more than accommoditative because they would accused the free syrian army of edith and other journalists murders including Marie and Remi...
fortunately with the help of rebels Edith and other journalist including photographer William Daniels escaped from syria. and while everybody in france thought Edith was trapped in a bed without moved she was disguised and with free syrian army on a motorbike with an ak47 in a water tunnel lager of 1m on 1.6m and of 3km who where their last secret escape to leave homs and with syrian army just after them. and her health was so bad and her leg so hurted that syrian doctors thought before she left the "hospital" that she certainly would die of an heart attack because of her state of weakness.
anyway, her book is really good, very interesting and beautiful.
here William's and Remi's work.
