Julia Jarmond, an American journalist living in Paris with her French husband Bertrand, is assigned to write about the roundup and transportation of Jews from Paris to Auschwitz in 1942. During her research she discovers that her and Bertrand`s home was purchased by his parents after the Jewish family that lived there was deported to the death camps. Julia becomes increasingly obsessed and disturbed by the story of the family, particularly that of Sarah Starzynski, the 10-year old girl who would become the only survivor of the Nazi occupation. Both Julia`s and Sarah`s stories are harrowing and fascinating. Tatiana de Rosnay`s 10th novel has been translated into more than a dozen languages.

This is by far the most extraordinary book I have read in a long time. This eloquent and moving story grabbed me from the start, and I simply couldn't put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it and would highly recommend it for yourself or as a gift. I was sad to see it end.
This is a gripping, terrifying story that will have you in tears from the first chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is a powerful story, one you will want to read again and again. Its not a story you can say you enjoyed but it is one that you will want to talk about and pass on to your friends......its that good, that sad, that heartbreaking......well worth the journey.
I enjoyed this book very much. It was an eye opener to the inhuman treatment of the Jews in France.I must say though it is not for the faint of heart. It held my attention and left me wanting to know more about Sarah's life and ordeal. I could not put it down till I knew what had become of her. The author really made the characters come to life ,so much so I could invision the scenes in my mind as though it were a movie. I would recomend this book whole heartedly.
A compelling book, simply written and heartfelt. The plot is cohesive, yet I would never have predicted the ending. A beautiful insight into the heartbreak of the Haulocaust. Strongly recommend this book.
