Sarah's Key

This book was wonderfully written and was hard to put down. I was so tired that I could barely hold my eyes open but I couldn't stop reading. I couldn't stop thinking about the story and the characters, past and present although the relationship of woman in the present is a bit distant and cold. The book is sad but the story is enveloped in so much mystery that you don't want to stop until you have all the answers - until the secret is not a secret any longer. I learned a bit about France while reading this book. I used the internet to look up unfamiliar terms, see pictures of places and to hear French words pronounced. I feel like I just got back from a trip to Paris but with a heavy heart.
