Nowadays, you just can't find a book without all the teenage dirt in it. So, I just took a historical fiction by random, it is just great! Great with no sarcasm. In Sarah's Key, it shows a family in France during the beginning of the Holocaust. The police went door to door, just before dawn, arresting Jewish families. Sarah's father is hiding in their cellar, and when the police shows up at their door, she hides her little brother in the cupboard, and locks him up, telling him that she'll come back. When police have Sarah and her mother, they search for her father. And they find him.
Fifty years later, an American woman, her French husband, and their eleven year-old daughter, become involved with Sarah and her history with her little brother. Bertrand, the husband, disagrees with this idea. The woman collects files, research, sources, and travels around Europe and North America, to find Sarah.
It turns out that she never told anyone about her brother, her religion, or her past. Her son didn't even know!
And in the end, there is no Sarah. There was, but not anymore.
