I read Sarah’s Key earlier this year, and I was deeply moved as well as troubled by it. It is not a happy story, but one that needed to be told. The author takes the story of the Vichy government’s treatment of the Jews and makes it very personal through a little girl named Sarah and her family. It will make you sick, and it will make you cry. But, it will also teach you about a relatively unknown event in French history: the Vél’ d’Hiv’ roundups. The shocking aspect of this story is that the Jews are not rounded up by the Nazi’s but by the French police. This book received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly, and it was well deserved. But it is not light read, and it will break your heart. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it. I hope to go see the movie when it is released.
I went with friends to see the last Harry Potter film. We saw it in 3D, and it was nothing short of awesome! Harry fans will not be disappointed. Now I want to go back and read all the books again. I’ve been following Harry for over 10 years and it’s hard to let go. But, I’ll be buying Deathly Hallows when the DVD pack is released, and revisiting Harry many, many times–like an old friend.
