Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
This is my Book Club book for November. It might be horribly sad, since it is the story of the July 1942 roundup of Jews from Paris. Over 6,000 Jews, mostly children, were arrested by French policy acting on orders from the German occupying army, kept in a sports arena for several days, then shipped to camps, eventually Auschwitz where they all were killed. The book goes back and forth between the tragic events of 1942 and modern day Paris.
This could be rough going.
That sounds so sad. Here is mine
ReplyDeleteSarah's Key is supposed to be great! I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about Sarah's Key. You'll do fine. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it is too girly to be a total tragedy. :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't read it but I've seen good reviews for it. Hope you like it.
