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.
