I found this book while waiting in the wrap-around-the-store line at Target on Black Friday.  It obviously stood out because of my namesake in the title, but a fellow Black Friday crazy shopper next to me also recommended it (gotta love the random friends you make while waiting in a line backed up to the book department).

Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay chronicles the dual stories of a young girl in 1940s Nazi occupied France and an American ex-pat reporter in France 60 years later.  Their stories meld as Julia, the reporter, is assigned to cover the history of the Velodrome d'Hiver, a little known roundup of thousands of Jews in France in the 1940s.  Soon their stories cross and the investigation uncovers a family, and nation's little known history.

I really enjoyed the historical background of the story, though it is fictional, and liked the tandem stories that inch closer and closer together as you turn the pages.  I do wish I knew a bit of French so I could at least attempt to pronounce a lot of the names and places that are referenced in the story!

Enjoy!
