Sarah's Key
Sarah's Key | Tatiana de Rosnay
Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten year-old girl, is brutally arrested with her family by the French police in the Vel' d'Hiv' roundup, but not before she locks her younger brother in a cupboard in the family's apartment, thinking that she will be back within a few hours.Paris, May 2002: On Vel' d'Hiv's 60th anniversary, journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about this black day in France's past. Through her contemporary investigation, she stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Julia finds herself compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, from that terrible term in the Vel d'Hiv', to the camps, and beyond. As she probes into Sarah's past, she begins to question her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life. Tatiana de Rosnay offers us a brilliantly subtle, compelling portrait of France under occupation and reveals the taboos and silence that surround this painful episode.

I remember wanting to read this when it first came out in 2007 but never got around to it until I I saw this in a free pile of books at the library. I grabbed some ice coffee and muffin at the cafe by the library went outside to the balcony to read. Well, I never moved from that spot for four hours until I finished it. It was that good. I‘m only sorry that I didn‘t read it sooner! Very well written and executed. A MUST read!

Ruthiella That‘s quite a recommendation! 8mo

This book is somewhere between okay and good. What makes it lean toward good is history learning; what makes it lean toward okay is some of the descriptions of emotion feel artificial.
A historical fiction, in my view, always offer something worth reading.

Apart from the ending which was flat,I liked the book very much.Anything during the 2nd world war is always difficult to read.Sarah's story, although fictional,still felt very real, it felt something like that might have happened and it was heart breaking.The atrocities, the sufferings is really difficult to imagine.

Not going to give anything away but this particular part broke my heart, I cried a little too.
Book is set in France, 1942 and nothing ever good comes from that period in Europe. The inhumanity of it, the brutality of it is just so heart breaking.
I am only halfway through but I would highly recommend it!!!

Vel d'hiv was a French bicycle stadium where thousands of Jewish women and children were gathered by the French police before being sent to concentration camps and ultimately Auschwitz.
This book is about one such child, Sarah, how when the police rounded up at her house one early morning, she locked her baby brother in a cupboard, in the hope that she would come back to rescue him soon.

A slow burning novel for me - it quietly grew on me, especially after the narrative shifted exclusively to present day. I saw the movie years ago and so knew the tragic story in the novel, but yet it was still heartbreaking and haunting. A great commemoration of an event hardly spoken of, or at least at the time of this publication.

AmyK1 I had no idea there was a movie. Is it good? 4y
Librarybelle @AmyK1 I remember thinking it was okay, but honestly it‘s been so long since I watched it! It stars Kristen Scott Thomas. 4y

This book was heart-wrenching. I knew it was going to be sad, it's about the holocaust and that's part of the territory. But I had no idea what I had signed up for. Still, it was a great book. I loved it and will recommend it in a heart beat. I decided to read it because of a podcast I've been listening called 3 Book Girls. They discuss the books they've read over the week. They are hilarious, amazing, and real.

I'm going to say so-so to this book. It was all good til I got into the pages of 250, then it slid down hill. I found this book wasn't so much about Sarah but about the character named Julia and her personal problems with her husband.

While it highlights a dark and sad period in France‘s history during WWll (that I definitely want to read more about), I found this book to be just okay. The writing was simple and character development shallow, and not at all the tear jerker I was expecting (and hoping!) it would be. ⭐️⭐️ #Booked2020 #FinishInADay #ReadingEurope2020 #France 🇫🇷#LitsyAtoZ #abecedarianTBR #S #PopSugar2020 #SetInACityThatHostedTheOlympics #Paris

Come-read-with-me I had the same reaction to the book. The story wasn‘t bad but it could have been so much more - more poignant, more tender, and of course more teary! 4y

Beautifully written...Sensitive subject matter given a modern life. The author researched the story through a piece of history and then created a story based on fact but pure fiction. Sarah‘s story is haunting. I can see how Julia‘s tunnel vision to dig up as much as she could to learn and have the story told was all consuming. She was a little selfish about it at times . I liked the full circle moment at the end .

Sleepswithbooks Such a great book! 4y

For me this paled in comparison to the many wonderful, descriptive, moving options out there for WW2 historical fiction. Something about the super simple sentences and descriptions really turned me off, which is a shame because the story itself had promise. I mostly just found myself wishing it had been written by Kristin Hannah instead.

Have you read this book? Am I missing something? I'm not usually this far off base with popular opinion.

But this book also has a special place in my heart. When I moved to the US (10 yrs ago) I knew no-one but my hubby‘s family. I missed my friends terribly.

I enjoyed this book for it‘s interesting and sad story. I love how it highlighted France‘s part in the holocaust, because most people don‘t know that the French police also voluntarily rounded up and sent it‘s Jewish citizens to their deaths. That said, the character development in this book was atrocious. Both the present-day protagonist and her husband were vapid and one dimensional to the point that it took away from the story.
