June 28th Sarah's
Key, Tatiana de Rosnay
Sarah's Key, first published in September 2006. Two
main parallel plots are followed through the book. The first is that of
ten-year-old Sarah Starzynski, a Jewish girl born in Paris, who is arrested with her parents during
the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup. Before they go, she locks her
four-year-old brother in a cupboard, thinking the family should be back in a
few hours. The second plot follows Julia Jarmond, an American journalist living in Paris, who is asked to write an article in
honour of the 60th anniversary of the roundup.
