The New York Times
By: Rachel Saltz "Sarah’s story grips you like a horror movie, complete with certain fictional contrivances. She tries desperately to return home to free her brother but at almost every turn is met by terror. The first scenes — of the arrest and at the velodrome — are the most indelible. You may want to hide your eyes" (Saltz 1). |
Book Review: Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
By: Emm, Blogcritics.org "Sarah’s Key is a great book club novel as it certainly opens up discussions while teaching people more about France’s role in the Second World War. It is certainly a book that has divided readers, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anybody. In fact, as I finished the book, I drove right on over to my mother’s house and insisted that she read it too. Five out of five stars" |
