I lucked out with the last few books. Really good reads. Same goes for Tatiana de Rosnay's "Sarah's Key." I'm a pretty good student of history but I was totally unaware of what happened in July of 1942 in Paris. Many thousands of French Jews were rounded up and taken to an arena in Paris. It wasn't the Nazi's doing the deed; it was the Paris Police. Young Sarah locks her younger brother in a secret cabinet to keep him safe with the promise she would return for him unaware that she's about to take a journey to hell. 60 years later her story is uncovered by an American journalist living in Paris.
