Sarah's Key tells two stories: the first is of one family's plight during the infamous roundup of Jews in Paris by French police during World War II, and the other story is of an American journalist living in Paris who investigates the roundup on its 60th anniversary. Julia's quest to tell the story of the roundup and make sure it is not forgotten turns into a near obsession impacting her relationship with her husband's family. But it is Sarah's experiences that are the heart of this page-turner. Griping, chilling, and highly recommended.
