jomat 's review for:
Sarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay
I don’t often give five stars but in my opinion this book definitely deserves this rating.
I knew of The Resistance and also of the collaborators but until reading this had been unaware of the involvement of the French police in rounding up Jewish people to be sent for extermination. The core of this story is harrowing but is softened by the insight into personalities and shows how secrets kept mould the lives of so many people. Different secrets about the same situation are kept and not until Julia persists in finding out one truth - what happened to Sarah - are these secrets revealed.
