Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay

This is a Holocaust novel. It is a fictionalized account of the 1942 Paris roundups and deportations. During one of these roundups, eleven year old Sarah locked her four year old brother in a cupboard to hide him from the Nazis who had come for their family. She never dreamed she wouldn't be back to save him. In 2002, Julia Jarmond and her husband prepare to move into the apartment that Sarah had lived in those many years ago. Julia stumbles upon the story of the roundups and discovers that Sarah had lived in her new apartment. In the process she finds a secret that threatens her marriage.

Very intense novel. I did find that for me, it took a chapter or two to get into the story, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down! I learned a lot about WWII that I didn't know before. Reminded me somewhat of the Potato Peel Society! I liked it a lot!
