  1. 1. Sarah's Key

    The novel intertwines two stories: one of a young Jewish girl named Sarah, who is brutally arrested with her family during the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup in 1942 Paris, and the other of an American journalist, Julia, living in contemporary France. As Julia investigates the roundup's history for an article, she uncovers the harrowing tale of Sarah, who locked her younger brother in a cupboard to protect him from the police, promising to return. The narrative reveals the impact of this historical event on Sarah's life and connects it to Julia's own family history, leading to profound revelations that change Julia's life. The book explores the themes of memory, guilt, and the legacy of the Holocaust.
