I recommend it to everyone as one of my top reads of all time! I especially loved how it was a Holocaust book that took place in France, which isn't a place where you would think of first, second, or even 5th for having to do with the Holocaust.

You should definitely check it out. <br />Here's my review, if you're interested: http://thearmchairtraveller365.blogspot.ca/2012/06/book-review-sarahs-key.htmlThe Armchair Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006586379768087823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-49013614062484440642012-09-05T18:21:06.053-04:002012-09-05T18:21:06.053-04:00I loved this book too.

I liked both stories and wasn't annoyed by Julia's storyline. I also liked the movie, although like usual it's not nearly as good as the book. I saw it about a year after I read the book though, which I think is better than watching the movie right away.Lindsey Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654365166738983077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-2129118331373499942012-09-04T12:59:22.013-04:002012-09-04T12:59:22.013-04:00I've seen the film trailer and the movie looks...I've seen the film trailer and the movie looks good but I haven't seen it.

I loved Sarah's story, but Julia's (the modern one) just felt like a preachy pile of cliches. Her French husband is a cad! Nazis were mean! Sigh. I skimmed those parts just to get back to Sarah's story, which was absolutely heart-wrenching. I wished the whole book had been just Sarah, even if it would have been emotionally harder to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-91623796997210115452012-09-04T10:32:24.691-04:002012-09-04T10:32:24.691-04:00This was such a good book!
