Review:

"A wonderful book." --Joy Behar, "The View" “This is the shocking, profoundly moving and morally challenging story...  It will haunt you, it will help to complete you... nothing short of miraculous.”  -Augusten Burroughs “Just when you thought you might have read about every horror of the Holocaust, a book will come along and shine a fierce light upon yet another haunting wrong.  SARAH'S KEY is such a novel.  In remarkably unsparing, unsentimental prose... through a lens so personal and intimate, it will make you cry--and remember.” -Jenna Blum, author of Those Who Save Us "A haunting, riveting novel... This book grabs your heart in the opening chapter, and its scenes and characters stay with you long after you finish." --Publishers Weekly, a PW 2008 Staff Pick “Masterly and compelling, it is not something that readers will quickly forget.

"Exceptional, emotional, and compelling..." - "Sacramento Bee""A powerful novel... Tatiana de Rosnay has captured the insane world of the Holocaust and the efforts of the few good people who stood up against it in this work of fiction more effectively than has been done in many scholarly studies. It is a book that makes us sensitive to how much evil occurred and also to how much willingness to do good also existed in that world." --Rabbi Jack Riemer, South Florida Jewish Journal "A remarkable novel written with eloquence and empathy." -Paula Fox, author of Borrowed Finery "A story of hearts broken, first by the past, then by family secrets, and the truth that begins to repair the pieces. A beautiful novel." -Linda Francis Lee, bestselling author of The Ex-Debutante "SARAH'S KEY unlocks the star crossed, heart thumping story of an American journalist in Paris and the 60-year-old secret that could destroy her marriage. This book will stay on your mind long after it's back on the shelf." -Risa Miller, author of Welcome to Heavenly Heights "This is a remarkable historical novel... it's a book that impresses itself upon one's heart and soul forever." -Naomi Ragen, author of The Saturday Wife ""Sarah's Key" is told from both the perspective of an 10-year-old girl whose family is rounded up during the Vel D'Hiv in France in 1942 and an American who presently lives in Paris. The heartbreak is real, the love is true, and the need to find out how their two lives are connected made this one of my absolute favorites!" -Sarah Galvin, The Bookstore Plus, Lake Placid, NY "Just read "Sarah's Key" and LOVED IT... SUCH FUN TO DISCOVER A TREASURE. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING." -Diane Garrett, Diane's Books of Greenwich "I was overwhelmed by a novel that I had missed when it first came our way--Sarah's Key. It is a page-turner about World War II, the Holocaust and contemporary Paris. I couldn't put it down." -Roberta, The Book Stall at Chestnut Court (Front Line, Newsletter) "Just as gripping as "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "Schindler's List."" -Ginny Thompson, Book Club Member ""Sarah's Key" is the most compelling, gripping novel I've read in a long time. Loved everything about it." -Audrey Raclaw, Book Club Member "An incredible story, beautifully written.

Kept me on the edge of my seat every moment. An emotional journey. One of my favorite novels. Up there with the best- If walls could talk. An outstanding personalization of the horrors of the hococaust." -Charlotte Hanebuth, Book Club Member "A beautifully written, poignant novel based on a shameful period in French history. A must read for all lovers of historical fiction." -Barbara Mix, Book Club Member "Totally excellent book. Read it in one day. The book made me aware of the French round up. I would like to know if Julia and William got involved." -Kathleen McCann, Book Club Member "Wonderfully written page turner. Such an interesting and mysterious story!" -Sue Sneary, Book Club Member "Tatiana's ability to get me into the 'head' of her characters is phenomenal.
