Book Review of Sarah's Key

Sarah's Key
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


This was a good read for me. I enjoyed it mainly from the historical standpoint that I learned something I did not know before. It was about the roundup of Jews in Paris during World War II. This book is sweet and heartbreaking. It is narrated from two different perspectives: one of the past, Sarah's story and one of the present day, Julia's story. Sara is a French Jewish girl and Julia is a journalist who discovers the story of the Jewish round up and begins to do research about it. Ultimately the story has such an effect of Julia that I think it changes her life. I would have enjoyed the book more if Sarah's story could have lasted a little longer and in more detail. Still a very good read. I read it for my bookclub.
