Sarah's Key

Hennepin County Library audioCDs (8 discs)

genre: WWII fiction / modern day relationships

What I loved about this story: the balance between the events of 1942 and Julia learning about it sixty years later, the children (historical & modern), the unfolding of characters' lives.
What I disliked: the relationship between Julia and Bertrand, Julia's insecurities and dramas, Julia in general . . .

I learned a lot. I had no idea that the French police had complied so willingly with the Nazis during the occupation. I'm surprised and saddened that more people didn't try to help.
