Sarah's Key, Tatiana DeRosnay

Hi ladies, I just finished Sarah's Key. I found that I wanted to plow through the book - first because I wanted to find out what happened to the brother, Michel, and then just to stop having to read about the children who had to stay at the Vel d'Hiv.

Becky and Merri: this is a book that I ran across last time I was picking a book for The Slots. I knew it was liable to be a kind of a tough read, but I found that I was kind of haunted by the premise of the book and needed to understand more ... and wondered how the author would resolve the story line. So it was an easy selection this month.

I am interested to talk with my mom about this historical event in Paris - I wonder how much she knows about it. It's probably not something she would talk with her students about, but even after having lived there and being so interested in the context of France, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't know.

In all, I enjoyed the book. It reads fast, and that's good. I do find that the end of the book is a bit slower, and I am looking forward to talking about all of it with you.

Just wanted to let you know that it's good, and it can be read quickly. I hope you all have a chance to start and finish it. Love you all!
