Helpful Score: 1

This is such a beautiful, yet horrifying and bittersweet book that takes place during the roundup of Jews in WWII Paris in the middle of the night in 1942. Sarah is a 10-year-old girl who tries to protect her little brother by locking him in a bedroom cupboard with the promise that she will be back for him. What happens ties into a story 60 years later when an American journalist investigates the roundup and finds a trail that leads her to Sarah's story and to questions about the journalist's own romantic future in Paris.

I read this book very quickly and the reader definitely needs tissues in some parts. I have a duplicate copy or else I wouldn't give this one up.
