Description
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay is a poignant and emotionally intense novel that explores the guilt and damage caused by long-buried secrets. In 1942, ten-year-old Sarah locks her younger brother in a cupboard to protect him from the French police, while her mother and father are arrested. Sixty years later, Julia Jarmond, an American journalist, is asked to write about the 60th anniversary of the Vel' d'Hiv' roundup, a day that saw thousands of Jewish men, women and children rounded up and sent to concentration camps. The story of two families, forever linked by this dark event, unfolds in a page-turning narrative. Tatiana de Rosnay reveals the devastating consequences of secrets kept hidden for too long, and the impact they can have on those who are left to pick up the pieces. This powerful novel is a heart-wrenching exploration of the human experience during one of the darkest periods in history.
