Comment on Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay by dorothy senner

As a freshman college student, I first learned of the Holocaust in 1960 through reading Life Magazine’s reports of Anne Frank. Why hadn’t it been taught to us in school, I wondered. In “Sarah’s Key” ( I read it in five hours, could not put it down) Julia Jurmond’s response was the same as mine: why wasn’t the roundup of Vel d’ Hiv, taught in school? My thanks to author Tatiana de Rosnay for bringing the events to light; the novel is not only brilliant and memorable, it is a long overdue tribute to the Jews of Paris, 1942.

Thanks so much for the mention here! The coincidence is that I lived in Newton for the first 22 years of my life. I used to go to the Newton Public Library.

Thank-you so much for posting this and reminding me. It’s inspired me to do a display in our reference room.

I wondered if Maggie’s on Facebook? If not, think she might join? It’s a great place to keep up on favorite authors…Melissa Senate, Emily Giffin, etc.

Is there going to be a fourth in the series? If so, when will it be out? Maggie’s books are just too addicting. Thanks!

I just finished “The Last Van Gogh”. I just loved it. The ultimate fantasy. Seriously, Alyson’s descriptions are like paint on a canvas. What a wonderful book.
