Until this book I had never heard of the Vel' d'Hiv' (a round up of Jews in the Summer of 1942 by the Paris police). Loved the way the author flipped between Sarah's story and Julia's story and how she seem to have a different voice for each story. I loved that despite the predictable outcomes for both stories I still couldn't put the book down. Definitely a story I won't soon forget.
