Paris, May 2002: On Vel’ d’Hiv’s 60th anniversary, journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about this black day in France's past. Through her contemporary investigation, she stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Julia finds herself compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, from that terrible term in the Vel d'Hiv', to the camps, and beyond. As she probes into Sarah's past, she begins to question her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life.
This was an extremely well written and moving story. Another historical fiction...which I really think is my favorite genre...in which a fiction story is intertwined with historical events. I honestly knew nothing about the round up of the Jews that took place in Paris. You will be moved to tears as you read through the action taken by French police on behalf of the German government.
This is a MUST read. My heart has been branded with this story.
