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.

5Excellent book  Nov 21, 2009
This book was about a little girl and her family during the time of the Holocaust. It was very interesting and hard to put down until I finished the book. It has a lot of interesting facts about how the Holocaust and people that were affected by it.

5great read  Nov 20, 2009
This book was a joy to read. I liked the way the author used the two time periods to tell the story.
It is sad to think that when we humans do unthinkable things to each other we try to hide it from our own history.
While parts of the book may make you cry, everyone should read it.

4book Sarah's Key  Nov 20, 2009
Could not put it down and had to finish it; never lost interest int he story. A lot of coincidences but well written and really keeps your attention. Well done with the flashbacks and the differnt fonts used in the chapters about each character to separate what was coming up.

2Wanted to like it....  Nov 18, 2009
......but the writing style drove me crazy, felt that the character Julia was often annoyingly predictable.

5Everyone should read  Nov 18, 2009
This historical fiction is one everyone should read, as it places the reader in France during World War II as a Jewish girl and is so well written the reader becomes part of the action. Living a while in the skin of someone else might help us understand those who are different from us or worship in different ways. I bought copies to give as gifts.
