wanda12 's review for:
Sarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay
"Forty-five-year-old Julia Jarmond, American by birth, moved to Paris when she was 20 and is married to the arrogant, unfaithful Bertrand Tézac, with whom she has an 11-year-old daughter. Julia writes for an American magazine and her editor assigns her to cover the 60th anniversary of the Vél' d'Hiv' roundups. Julia soon learns that the apartment she and Bertrand plan to move into was acquired by Bertrand's family when its Jewish occupants were dispossessed and deported 60 years before. She resolves to find out what happened to the former occupants: Wladyslaw and Rywka Starzynski, parents of 10-year-old Sarah and four-year-old Michel. The more Julia discovers—especially about Sarah, the only member of the Starzynski family to survive—the more she uncovers about Bertrand's family, about France and, finally, herself."
Just riveting. This historical novel tells a tale of disturbing French behavior towards Jews during WWII. I could not put this book down. The way the author blended the stories together was phenomenal. Her writing made me feel as I was part of the story. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I so needed to read this book.
