Sarah's Key

By Tatiana De Rosnay...someone I know had just finished this book and recommended it to me. I was eager to read it as I enjoy books about the Holocaust...whether fiction or nonfiction. The story sounded appealing...a little girl is taken with her family during an event that happened in France during WW2...she locks her brother in a cabinet and takes the key with her promising to return. She and her family are taken to a camp, boarded on a train and taken to Auschwitz. So what about the boy?? The girl is frantic. What ruins the story is a modern day story about a reporter trying to find out about this event from the French...that part is okay, but her relationships and drama I found unnecessary for the story...and once the little girl's story is done...I was done.
