Sarah's Key
nyteacher avatar reviewed on + 152 more book reviews


In the summer of 1942 the French police were rounding up Jewish children under the orders of the German Gestapo. In an effort to protect her brother, Sarah Starzinski locks her brother in a hidden cupboard. Sixty years later, the events of that summer have a profound affect on two families.
The author uses two strong female narrators to bring to life a rarely talked about historic tragedy. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
