I almost finished Sarah's Key last night, but kept falling asleep, so I finished the last few pages this morning. I absolutely loved the first half of this book. The chapters were alternated between Julia and Sarah's stories and I thought it really worked well. I didn't want to put it down. I didn't like the second half of the book as much when it switched to just Julia. It was still good, but I guess I just found the writing a little more cheesy and predictable.
Even though it was a fictional story, it really got me interested in learning more about the Vel'd'Hiv' roundup. Such a sad time, but so important to history. I will definitely be looking up more books about this subject.
293 pages.
