Sarah's Key
by: Tatiana de Rosnay
|
Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A New York Times bestseller. Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten year-old girl, is brutally arrested with her family by the French police in the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup, but not before she locks her younger brother in a cupboard in the family's apartment, thinking that she will be back within a few hours.
Paris, May 2002: On Vel’ d’Hiv’s 60th anniversary, journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about this black day in France's past. Through her contemporary investigation, she stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Julia finds herself compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, from that terrible term in the Vel d'Hiv', to the camps, and beyond. As she probes into Sarah's past, she begins to question her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life.
Tatiana de Rosnay offers us a brilliantly subtle, compelling portrait of France under occupation and reveals the taboos and silence that surround this painful episode.
Sarah's Key deals with a shocking part of French history and the Holicost. The french police were responsible for rounding up Jews and sending them to the camps. It is a part of history that I did not know anything about and this novel deals with it in a facinating manner. I really could not put it down.

This is a fascinating book. I could not put it down. There are several suspense filled happenings. You are just as involved in the search for Sarah as the author. In the face of horror, a little girl preservered. This is an easy read of a deep subject. Excellent book, a must read.

This book was so interesting and written in a way that takes you back in history but then brings you to the present and goes back and forth between the old and current lives. Some of the history is painful, however, it is so well presented!
Rating: -
Sarah's Key is one of the books you always hope you are buying. It keeps your interest, maybe too well, and makes you think when you lay it down. I read mine on my Kindle, but enjoyed it so much I bought a copy for a gift.

This is one of those books that you can't wait to see what happens, but you don't want the story to end..... Even though I cried, I loved this story.
