Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

5.0

Sarah's Key is moving, emotional, informative, and an overall wonderful book. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The author had a real flare for conveying life in another time and switching back and forth from that time to the present. The way she intertwined two stories was fascinating and done very, very well. Her character development was outstanding. I felt like I knew the narrators like old friends. My only complaint, while reading the book, was that the second half of the book did not use the voice of the person in the past any longer. It bothered me that I was only hearing from the contemporary voice. However, now that I've finished it, I realize this was brilliant. Because in actuality, the voice from the past was cut off from everyone in the story as well. I was feeling the same void that those in the story were feeling and this, to me now, was literary genious!!
