Tatiana de Rosnay este o scriitoare de origine franceză care promite mult, iar scris de ea am citit până acum Anotimpul ploilor, o carte care nu prea s-a ridicat la așteptările mele. Deși putea fi o super carte. Se numea Sarah este o carte extraordinară ce a fost ecranizată în 2010. Volumul a apărut la editura Litera în colecția Blue Moon, în 2016. Are 300 de pagini și are un stil accesibil, citindu-se repede. Ca teme abordate, întâlnim războiul, familia, iubirea; cadrul desfășurării acțiunii es

Book shifts from one time frame to another. What connects the various stories is an apartment in Paris where a Jewish family lived until July 1942 when they were separated and sent to prison camps.

Riveting, a compelling read. And very informative, never realized the full extent of the French complicity with the Nazis....
This was a powerfully good book. My mother recommended it to me and I am so glad I did read it.
de Rosnay sheds needed light on an under-examined event in France's WWII history in this five-hankie affair and addresses the harm that can emerge from collective amnesia about unpalatable choices. That said, I'm not entirely convinced by the medical angle here; the therapeutics described seem odd to me, even allowing for differences between the French and American systems.

Simply. Amazing
Very rarely do I leave a review on a book or give it 5 stars. But Sarah’s Key had me gripped from the moment I began reading it. It takes a lot for a book to make me cry. And this book hit me hard. There is a movie that I plan to watch

For Book Club!
Great Holocaust story from different point of views: then and now. very moving yet the ending is a bit predictable. but Sarah's point of view is definitely a real gem.
