Sarah's Key
by Tatiana de Rosnay
Wonderful historical and current story running concurrently, in a sense. The story of the July 12, 1942 sweep and imprisonment of thousands of Parisian Jews by Parisian's Policeman under the orders of the German Hitler. Torn away from their home and their children and then sent to their death to Auschwitz.
This story is about a American journalist, living in Paris where her husband's home was one of the apartments that a family of Jews were taken from. She finds the family members as she writes about them and goes through her turbulent life with an arrogant Parisian husband and daughter. Provocative, entertaining and mystifying as a the mysteries are foretold. I loved it.
