My next book is Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. This book was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. I've heard nothing but good things about it, plus, it's historical fiction which is a guilty pleasure of mine, especially when it's WWII. I'm excited to start reading this one.
Here's a short synopsis of the book, followed by praise for the book:
Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten-year-old girl, is taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door arresting Jewish families in the middle of the night. Desperate to protect her younger brother, Sarah locks him in a bedroom cupboard--their secret hiding place--and promises to come back for him as soon as they are released.
Sixty Years Later: Sarah's story intertwines with that of Julia Jaramond, an American journalist investigating the roundup. In her research, Julia stumbles onto a trail of secrets that link her to Sarah, and to questions about her own romantic future.
"A remarkable novel. Like Sophie's Choice, it's a book that impresses itself upon one's heart and soul forever." --Naomi Ragen, author of The Saturday Wife
"It will make you cry--and remember." --Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us
"Rich in mystery, intrigue, and suspense, Sarah's Key made me wonder and weep." --The Roanoke Times
"Sarah's Key unlocks a star-crossed, heart-thumping story . . . This book will stay in your mind long after it's back on the shelf." --Risa Miller, author of Welcome to Heavenly Heights
