I ran across this paperback at my local library it was a .25c give away and I had always wanted to read it.
In keeping with Paris in July I read Sarah's Key and then watched the film. The book is a must read. Read the book before you watch the movie, so many more shades to the characters than can be brought out in the film.
Set in Paris, July 1942 there is a great Jewish round up known as the Velodrome d'hiver Round-up. Sarah a ten year old girl is caught up in this and taken with her family to the Velodrome.
Fast forward sixty years to a journalist Julia Jarmond and see how their two lives become twined to one.
I will post a book review of this on my Lil Bit Brit Lit Blog later.
