Product Description:
A New York Times bestseller. 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.

This books makes me wish I taught older kids - ones old enough to read this book. My students are around 9 so Sarah's Key would be too much, but I hope that when they do get to high school that they have an English teacher or a History teacher who assigns this book so that more American kids can learn about this sad chapter in history and that they might learn a little more appreciation for just how good they have it!
As a mother, I can't imagine having my children ripped from my very ... Read More

I Bought this book with little knowledge of how intense of an impact it was going to have in my life. I've never encountered a story about what took place in France at the Velodrome d'Hiver on July 16th 1943 * Although the characters are all fictional; This well written story makes you feel as if you are actually there with them.
Through the eyes of 10 yr old Sarah her inner survival & resilience, along with Julia's Jarmond intensive search of what became of little Sarah fuel this mighty moving ... Read More

WWII. So many stories, so little time. But while most of them focus on the Nazis and their treatment of the Jewish people, "Sarah's Key" is about the Velodrome d'Hiver, the round-up of the Jews not by the Nazis, but by the French police. Actual French gendarmes rounding up their own countrymen to send them to Auschwitz. It's horrifying, heart-wrenching, terrible.
This novel is split at first between Sarah's point of view in 1942 and Julia Jarmond's point of view in 2002, a journalist writing ... Read More

Sarah's Key deals with a shocking part of French history and the Holicost. The french police were responsible for rounding up Jews and sending them to the camps. It is a part of history that I did not know anything about and this novel deals with it in a facinating manner. I really could not put it down.
Rating: -
This is a fascinating book. I could not put it down. There are several suspense filled happenings. You are just as involved in the search for Sarah as the author. In the face of horror, a little girl preservered. This is an easy read of a deep subject. Excellent book, a must read.
