Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
5.0

I can't remember the last book I read that was this WELL-WRITTEN, on every level. Rosnay waves together two incredible stories, very realistically and honestly. The story of a young Jewish girl living in Paris who is sent away to the camps with her family and the present day character Julia Jarmond, a an American-French woman and journalist. She writes a piece about the Vel D'Hiv and the secrecy of the French police's involvement in rounding up French Jews to be killed later at Auchswitz. Heartbreaking, lovely and moving, this is a book you do not want to pass on.
