Sarah's Key

Author: Tatiana De Rosnay
Stars: 5
Review by: Little Red Hen
Destination: Paris


I got out one of my many bookmarks before I started this book. I didn't need it. Back and forth from one chapter in 1942 and the next one in the present, the story moves from a roundup of Jews by French police acting on orders from the Nazi. The chronicle of a little-known event which resulted in the death of 4,000 Jewish children opened my eyes to another horror. It is also a very chilling personal story of Sarah, her brother and her parents. Never Forget.

.The touching scenes of the daughter and her sad song about divorce added to the film which other wise showed the scruffiness of the sport in which Pitt,Hoffman and Hill worked surprisingly well ensemble.
But it makes one wonder why the main character,Beane gave up a full college scholarship in his youth to be a ballplayer at age 18,a scout,a trainer and then ultimately work behind a desk in management.
