At first I didn't think I would like the book.It starts out telling 2 stories at a time.I thought going back and forth between chapters would make me loose intrest.The book is about Sarah and her family who are Jewish living in Paris France during the war. July 16 1942 the French Police had orders from the Germans to gather up all the Jewish families.The other story takes place 60 years later,Julia Jarmond, an American journalist married to a French man is given the assignment to write about the Vel'dHiv.A secret France doesn't want to remember happened. I could not put the book down once I got into the story. You will feel an entire range of emotions. The book is rich in mystery, intrigue and suspense.Sarah's story intertwines with that of Julia's.
