Sarah Key Tatiana de Rosnay Books

Sarah’s Key, written by Tatiana de Rosnay, switches back and forth between the lives of two people. One chapter is written to talk about Sarah, a young French girl, and her emotions, development, and grief during the time of the Vel d’Hiv round-up in July of 1942. The next chapter switches to the life of Julia, an American living in France as a journalist. The two stories become intertwined when Julia is asked to write about the Vel d’Hiv. She researches the dark event and comes across Sarah’s story, which fascinates her.
Sarah’s Key is a heart- wrenching story that brings light and awareness to the tragic events of the holocaust. The way the author wrote from the perspective of Sarah made me feel as if I was there, witnessing the pain and horror that the women and children had to face. I loved push and pull of emotions as I read on into the book, but I wish it focused more on Sarah’s story, and not as much on the life of Julia.
In conclusion, Sarah’s Key is an emotional book that will make you want to just keep reading. This book is a blend of fiction and histoy, and is a great way to learn more about the events that occurred in Paris in 1942. It is memorable and will keep you thinking even after you finish the book. I would definitely recommend this book, it was a great read!

Sarah Key Tatiana de Rosnay Books Reviews

This novel tells the heart wrenching tale of a ten year old girl, Sara, thrust into the horrors of the Holocaust as discovered by an American journalist, Julia, living in Paris. The novel moves between the years 1942 and 2002. Julia, the American journalist, her Architect husband and daughter have inherited the apartment from which Sara and her family were forcefully taken during the Vel' d'Hiv', the round-up of French Jewish citizens by their own countryman. Julia becomes haunted by Sara's story and her determination to find her becomes intertwined with her own personal issues and challenges. The novel moves along quickly (I hated putting it down when life intervened) to a satisfying and heartfelt conclusion.
I've read several compelling novels set during the WWII Holocaust, but this one moved me more than most. It is a story about a little-known event in which the French police gathered up Jewish families on one terrifying night to turn them over to the Gestapo. It was written from an unusual point of view- that of a modern-day journalist researching the event as a landmark anniversary approaches. While doing the research, she happens to learn of an incredibly sad story involving a young Jewish girl and her family who were rounded up during this incident. She uncovers an amazing connection between that family and her ex-husband's family, and that connection is what makes the story so compelling.

Any novels about this period in history are going to have some similarities, and I felt this one was more tragic than most, but also more uplifting in the end.
At a national conference I overhead two others sitting at our table talking about great books that they had read. I joined in the conversation we started talking about various books in the historical fiction genre that were great reads. I offered the names of a couple of my favorites and Sarah's Key was one of the two that these ladies offered.

This book was simply riveting! Hard to put down. It was everything I was told it would be and more. I've since recommended it to others as well.
It is a sad, moving story . The part that is set in 1942 is moving and depressing . The part set in 2002 is really mostly unnecessary . It is yet another book that switches back-and-forth between two time periods in order to have the later time period tell the story of the former . In the miracle story in that later time period is simply annoying . So if it had been much more about 1942 and much less about 2002 the rating would have been much higher.
Another favorite novel, which I gifted.
The interwoven story of Sarah, a young Jewish girl, and Julia Jarmond, an American journalist living in Paris. Set in Paris in 1942 and 2002, the story is told of Jewish family sent by the French ultimately to Auschwitz. As they are rounded up, Sarah locks her brother, Michel, in a hidden cupboard with a promise to return for him. Her story is told along with Julia's story of researching the sixtieth anniversary of the tragic events. As Julia's research continues, she becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to Sarah despite the effect it is having on her own family. A stirring, emotional read...mesmerizing, and highly recommended.
Sarah's Key describes the roundup of the Jews of Paris in 1942 at the orders of the occupying Nazis. Many French citizens did what they could to help the victims, while others cooperated in the roundup. Whole families were taken away by regular French police and transported by ordinary city buses. They were held in camps in France before being transported to their deaths at Auschwitz.

A present day female journalist becomes obsessed with a girl from this time when she discovers a tragic connection to her own life. The past and the present begin as two stories and merge into one.

This book is one part riveting history, one part page-turner, and one part tear-jerker. I gave it four stars instead of five because the last part of the book turns the focus onto the personal problems of the journalist and becomes a sort of rambling soap opera, which some may enjoy and others may not.

However, I would recommend this book for its portrayal of history, its swift pace, and its many twists and turns.
