Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

4.0

This was a really good book that intertwined a modern story with a historical fiction. It was well written, informative, and emotional. I wish more attention had been given to the historical story. I would like to know more about the Vel d'Hiv incident and about the Occupation in France during WWII. It is not something that most people seem to know about... even in France. Interesting. Overall, while the modern story was interesting, I didn't feel like it added that much to the overall story. I didn't feel invested enough in the modern characters to really care about what they did and why they did what they did. I would have liked to have read more about the narrator's father-in-law, Edouard, or his mother, Mame'. There just wasn't enough. Anyway, overall I quite enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it.
