Sarah's Key Audiobook

" Amazing book, I couldn't stop listening to it! The story was very moving. I highly recommend it! "

" Worth reading for the Vel d'Hiv treatment, but it was extremely hard to care about a modern troubled marriage in this context "

" One of the best books ever! Very sad and a tear-jerker. "

" An engaging plot that keeps you turning the pages. A little more "best seller" than I tend to like (more plot than theme), but it was extremely interesting to read a historical fiction novel about a lesser-known Holocaust event in France during WWII. Overall, I liked the book, but the ending was a bit abrupt. "

" Really liked it more than I expected. Knew I would cry given the topic... But still enjoyed the story and characters. "

" LOVED this book although it was quite heart wrenching. "

" A part of history about which I knew very little in terms of the French. A plus read. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It awakened my interest in the events of 1942 Vichy France. Great mystery and WWII interest. The personal bits about her marriage got a bit old, but the rest of the novel was excellent. "

" Great style of writing and weaving two era's and stories together, however, the romance/ coincidence in the end was absolutely unnecessary! "

" Double story of contemporary American journalist living in Paris discovering her in-laws connection with Vel' d'Hiv' during the Nazi occupation on July 16, 1942. Good for book groups, people interested in the holocaust, family secrets. "

" Lovely story and eye opening to the widespread unknown horrors in Paris related to WWII "

" fabulous book. drew me in quickly, kept me wanting more. I was a bit disappointed with his it ended, but such is life. I related to Julia. I admire her willingness to follow her heart/inspiration. "

" This book was moving and amazing. There were times I cried thinking about the horrible events that had taken place back then. Its a very emotional read but definitely worth all of the tears. "

" My favorite book of all time. Beautiful and tragic story that transports you into the character's shoes. Get ready to shed some tears and not put this book down until your finished. "

" Such a great book. At times it was difficult to read through my tears. "

" A great book group selection to discuss the atrocities against Jews in Paris, France during WWII. Set in both WWII and 1990s Paris and New York City. "

" LOVED the story and was so sad when it came to a close! I wanted more. "

" I could not put this down...it has haunted me for a long time. Great book. "

" Wow! She (they) will not be forgotten... and also what happened during worldwar 2! This book will also not be forgotten... "

" This moving story connecting the past to the present was a book I could not put down. "

" Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Could not put it down! Very sad, but very moving. "

" Made my hug my family closer. "

" I only gave this booK four stars because of how very sad it is. "

" Very informative about WW2 in France. Very sad and will always stay with me. "

" Prepare to cry "

" This wasn't a bad book, but not my favorite for the topic. It is such a painful and horrific theme and it lacked the inspiration of other books in the genre. I did like the style of writing, and want to read another book by the same author. I'm thinking The House I Loved. "

" The writing quality wasn't the greatest, but it was a good story that kept my interest. "

" An easy, quick read. The second half of the book was a little slower than the first, but a good read. "

" This was a very well written story. The story flipped between the 1940s during WWII and 2002 and the context illustrated at each different time frame kept the story moving and interesting. "

" The actual historic background even more compelling than the current saga. "

" Wow! Another heart wrenching story of the atrocities of war. Although this one was set in Paris and not Germany and was about round up of French Jews by the French police and how that part of history is really unknown to the French because of the shame. "

" I loved the story of Sarah and her struggles. The woman in present day....not so much. I was disappointed by the ending "

" About a historical even I had never been exposed to before, but the story seemed forced at times. "

" This is a two'fer...a current story and a WWII story. It goes back and forth in time as modern woman unearths a story from the past. The modern story's characters are not as likable or as realistic as the 1940's characters. "

" As strange as it may sound, I really enjoy reading books about the Holocaust, whether fiction or nonfiction. This a very moving story about a Jewish family separated and forced into the camps. You will not be able to put it down. "

" Engrossing, disturbing book that makes you simultaneously uncomfortable and hopeful "

" I loved Sarah's story. I was not a fan of the Julia's story. I felt like I was reading two different books at one point. Not sure if that was the point or not. I did enjoy reading it, though. "

" An amazing book, I didn't go a day not thinking about Sarah and the book. A book I will definitely read again! "

" i love stories about world war II and the holocaust, and this was such an interesting perspective of a girl's search for history! "
