I was deeply moved by this story. Based on the actual events in Paris 1942, a young girl named Sarah is taken with her family to the Velodrone d'Hiver in Paris. Her younger brother Michael, age four, is locked in the bedroom cupboard to protect him from the French Police. This two-part, two-voiced narrative takes the reader back into Sarah's life and the life of Julia, an American journalist. Julia discovers the link between her own inlaws and the events of 1942. Compelling, thought-provoking, poignant and unbelievably sad, this book will leave an imprint on you.
