mamaxke 's review for:
Sarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay
This book was both really good and really not great. The part set in 1942 was horrifically tragic and definitely I think everyone should know about the Vel d'Hiv. However, once the story was told exclusively from Julia's point of view it had a harder time holding my interest. I didn't really understand why she was so obsessed with finding Sarah. Not staying in the apartment, I get. But I really couldn't understand interrupting a vacation to meet up with her son - when that could just as easily have happened at some other time. And the book just seemed to keep going and going and going well past when I thought it could have ended. Not the worst I've read by any means, but not great.
