Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

---

I am drawn to historical novels that focus on the plight of the Jewish people in Europe during WWII and this did not disappoint. Alternating chapters tell Sarah's story of being arrested in the Vel' d'Hiv roundup in Paris in July 1942 and Julia who in May 2002 finds connections to her own family in the long past horror. Powerful, haunting, compelling - give yourself time as you will not want to interrupt the story with laundry or cleaning, I didn't!
