I finished Sarahs Key

5/3/2010

0 Comments

 
I finished the book last night, and I really liked it.  My plan was to read it closer to the meeting date.  I did start it later than I usually do, but as Sherry said, it is a real page turner and I read it in about three readings.  I learned more about the WWII era and found out more things that I didn't know about.  The last two books have provided interesting information about a time that I think most of us don't know too much about.  Overall, this was a somewhat sad book, so I would like to read something more "light" for the summer.  Still don't have any recommendations from anyone.  When I say "light", I don't mean mindless.  I would love to read something with a great story and good character development, but maybe not so "heavy" a topic as we have been reading.  What do you think?  I am also going to be interested in what you thought about the ending of this book.  See you soon.

Sarah's Key by  Tatiana de Rosnay (historical fiction) has been officially picked as our May book.  We have had several good recommendations about this book, and I am looking forward to it.  It is out in paperback.  It is my understanding that it has more than one cover photograph, but I think this one is the most popular/common of the two.  See below for a book review and and interview with the author.

    I like to think that I can't be described in a short paragraph.  Some adjectives:  curious, caring, kind, generous, excitable, motivated, emotional, fun, organized. What do you think?    Claire
