I read Sarah's Key by Tatiana DeRosnay for the book group I'm in. It is a fiction story based on real events that took place during the Holocaust--specifically the roundup of Jews in France. The book takes place in modern times and follows a journalist named Julia who researches those WWII events as part of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the roundups. As Julia learns more about what happened, she becomes fascinated and then discovers some secrets that will change her life forever.
This was a good book. It was very interesting and intriguing but unfortunately also kind of disturbing (which is understandable considering the Holocaust time period). It was an interesting approach to historical fiction because it took place nowadays but was very focused on a specific historical event. The problem with the book is that it had some adult language issues and such.
Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
