I'm not sure how do review a dual time book where I liked the part that ends before the book is over, Sarah's story, but doesn't care as much for Julia's story. I do like her daughter, Zoe, though. I did like that there were short chapters which made me want to keep reading. ( ) This book was GREAT! A difficult read due to the fact that it dealt with the roundup of Jewish families in Paris in 1942, and particularly the story of Sarah. There was also a parallel story with Julia as a journalist writing a story about the roundup. She becomes embroiled in Sarah's story and it affects her life in ways she didn't anticipate. I highly recommend this book. This was amazing! I think the only reason I did not cry with this story is because I have read so many true horror stories of the Holocaust that nothing fictional can ever compare. However, it's really not about the Holocaust. In 1942 the Vichy government in France fell prey to the ideals of the Nazis and Hitler and joined their cause to eradicate the Jews in their country. Sarah's Key tells the tale of a young girl who is taken by the French, with her parents, to the Vel d'Hiv, a tournament arena in Paris for several days before being transported to a camp outside of the city. There, she is separated from her parents, who are taken immediately to Auschwitz and gassed. She escapes with the help of a French policeman who knew her. All is not happy, however. At the age of ten, Sarah was very close to her four year old brother, Michal. In their apartment, there was a small cupboard in the room they shared where they played--it was outfitted with a little bit of water, cushions to sit on, and storybooks that Sarah would read to him. They had grand adventures within this cupboard. When the police came to their house to arrest them, Sarah had thought to keep him safe and innocently locked him in the cupboard, thinking to free him within a few hours, if not a day. Many years later, Sarah's story is discovered by Julia Jarmond, an American-born journalist living in Paris, while doing research on the events of the Vel d'Hiv. She becomes obsessed with Sarah's story, and eventually finds ties between her life and Sarah's, allowing the story to encompass her even in the wake of a failing marriage. It's a love story, in a way. The love of a sister for her brother. The love of a mother for her children. Nothing in this world can compete with the emotions of these. And yet, there is the love for human life that comes across so vividly--the idea that we should never forget, that the love of life lives in us all, and that we have no right to take away a life because of perceived differences.
"Tatiana de Rosnay offers a brilliantly subtle, compelling portrait of France under occupation and reveals the taboos and silence that surround the painful episode in that country's history. De Rosnay's U.S. debut fictionalizes the 1942 Paris roundups and deportations, in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested, held at the Velodrome d'Hiver outside the city, then transported to Auschwitz. Forty-five-year-old Julia Jarmond, American by birth, moved to Paris when she was 20 and is married to the arrogant, unfaithful Bertrand Tezac, with whom she has an 11-year-old daughter. Julia writes for an American magazine and her editor assigns her to cover the 60th anniversary of the Vel' d'Hiv' roundups. Julia soon learns that the apartment she and Bertrand plan to move into was acquired by Bertrand's family when its Jewish occupants were dispossessed and deported 60 years before. She resolves to find out what happened to the former occupants: Wladyslaw and Rywka Starzynski, parents of 10-year-old Sarah and four-year-old Michel. The more Julia discovers — especially about Sarah, the only member of the Starzynski family to survive — the more she uncovers about Bertrand's family, about France and, finally, herself. Already translated into 15 languages, the novel is De Rosnay's 10th (but her first written in English, her first language). It beautifully conveys Julia's conflicting loyalties, and makes Sarah's trials so riveting, her innocence so absorbing, that the book is hard to put down." Publishers Weekly (starred review) This is without a doubt the best book I've ever read. I was actually reading it during finals today, and I reached the saddest part in the book and began to cry. This book touched me and made me think like no other book ever has.
