Sarah's Key by Tatiana deRosnay


I read this book over my Christmas break.  It was interesting and had a good story line.  It's about the Vel’ d’ Hiv’ roundup (a French-led “round-up” of more than 13,000 Parisian Jews (mostly women and children) under order of the Nazis.)  Sarah is a little girl when she experiences this unfortunate event.  It goes between her life and the life of a woman who lives in the area "now", who is asked to write about it for the paper she works for.  Eventually the two stories reach a point where the woman searches to discover what happened to Sarah / the rest of her story.  It's the kind of book you don't want to put down because you want to know what happened, and so you keep reading.  I liked it.
