bioniclib 's review for:
Sarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay
The chapters alternated between a Jewish Family in WWII and an American Journalist living in France. And the chapters averaged 5 pages. I felt that that inhibited me from getting into the story. And when I was able to, I simply didn't like it.
I'm totally. WWII'd out. I read Unbroken a couple of months before and read The Book Thief not too long after that. While the French occupation wasn't something I'd read about, the atrocities that took place during WWII are just too hard to read. There are just so many (SO MANY) books on it. Even those books that are wonderfully written are tough reads.
Perhaps this book was given the short shrift by my prior reading and for that I'm sorry. Not too sorry, though. I wasn't really liking the journalist character and if I found her more sympathetic, I may have finished the book.
