ddvw 's review for:
Sarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay
I enjoyed this book and the way the author weaved history and modern day life together so beautifully. Sarah's story was heartbreaking and brought up all of the questions that arise everytime I read about WWII. What would I have done, knowing I couldn't change everything, but hoping I could have changed something for someone? Would I have turned away from the men, women, and children as they were rounded up? Or would I have tried to pass them a piece of bread, a smile, a chance at escape, a glimpse at the beauty of humanity in the face of the very ugliest of humanity? I thought the story of Bertrand and Julia dragged on a bit and that it all wrapped up a little too nicely, but overall I really enjoyed the book and was at times moved and disturbed by the best and the worst of people.
