Sarah's Key (edit title)

Shelfari edited the summary of Sarah's Key Thursday, October 15 2009.

• This story is about the Jewish persecution in 1942 conducted by the French - most commonly known as "The"The Round Up"Up" of French Jews. The story vascilates between current day and 1942. A similiar technique represented in "The Hours"."The Hours". I read the book in 3 days. It was captivating and horrific.

• Added a quotation: “I caught a glimpse of my face in the mirror as we glided. I looked as eroded as the groaning lift. What had happened to the fresh-faced belle from Boston, Mass.? The woman who stared back at me was at the dreaded age between forty-five and fifty, that no-man's land of sag, oncoming wrinkle, and stealthy approach of menopause. "I hate this elevator, too," I said grimly. Zoe grinned and pinched my cheek. "Mom, even Gwyneth Paltrow would look like hell in that mirror." I had to smile. That was such a Zoe-like remark.”
