Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

I resisted reading another novel about the holocaust.The story is wonderful and powerful. It shifts from an American who marries a Frenchman today and her life in Paris to a young Jewish girl who is caught up in the roundup of Jews in Paris during the war. The French have hidden their past and the American woman gets the newspaper assignment to write the story. All this with a connection to her husband's family apartment and her own marrige falling apart.

The book is so well written. The author leads you back and forth from past to present,driving you eagerly through the book. You discover a hidden part of history through the eyes of the lead character. It is so moving!
