"Rich in mystery, intrigue, and suspense, Sarah's Key made me wonder and weep." -The Roanoke Times
"A shocking, profoundly moving, and morally challenging story...nothing short of miraculous. It will haunt you, it will help to complete you..." -Augusten Burroughs, New York Times bestselling author
"As I was reading Sarah's Key, I could feel a strong and emotional attachment to all of the characters portrayed in this book. Everything that was going on felt so real, like it was actually happening around me. It is a suspenseful novel, but a tear-jerker as well. The memories of what happened to these people will haunt you. It'll make you wonder what exactly runs through people's minds. The characters in this novel are entirely fictitious, but several of the events described are not, especially those that occured in Occupied France during summer of 1942, and the great Velodrome d'Hiver roundup, which took place on July 16th, 1942."
