Only the return of this book is that it introduced me to the Vel d’Hiv, or whatever it was that I never heard that parler.Part it just was not interesting or fun lire.Je not understand how someone more than a étoile.Rating given: 1 / 5
When I saw the cover of the book, I thought it was strange that it reminded me of the coverage for “those who saved us.” Upon closer inspection, I realized that the two blankets were similar in that they had children in it. Coincidence? How about this format? Chapters alternate between 1942 and 2002. Another coincidence. And then there’s the question. The Holocaust. . . it seems to be a topic that is very lucrative. Is Tatiana de Rosnay have any kind of Jewish heritage? She writes on the back of the book, she fell to the Vel d’Hiv surf the Internet. Is this how writers represent a potential problem, address? They have combed the Internet? If true, this would be a shame. If anything, I expect that the authors have a real connection to them. It seems that Ms de Rosnay, read “Who has saved us,” she decided should be the same format to write, then surfed the net for a possible history of the Holocaust. Rating: 1 / 5
This book was recommended to me a lot and at first not sure why or its content. I am a WWII history buff and enjoyed the diary of Julia and her deep desire to conclusions from the story of Sarah reached. In this book, the story of the roundup of Jews in France in 1942 was terrible. It is time that we all recognize the betrayal that the French police have implemented for their countryman, whether Jewish or not. The story is very exciting and very interesting. I recommend this book is a lady who was in the library of the San Diego airport. I am a librarian and church have a great love for books and history. I asked politely, “you are looking for a recommendation. She took my advice and bought part of Sarah. She said she did not scream” but I was told it was very sad time in our history. Question: French police blamed for the deaths of Jews in France? “Yes, they had a job, but it was also the police in Nazi Germany and ultimately the study. The back of the book offer further suggestions. I also recommend Promise Trudy, the period after the occupation of the Berlin Wall in shares was established. Happy reading. Rating: 1 / 5
This book has to tell a great story, but she could tell a better job to have done. The author begins with the start of the outward and return flights in time, and until the end of the third chapter, I was confused. I love the story – I do not know how the format. See what I mean? Confused! Rating: 3 / 5
I do not think this book. Neither the tears of people who either read this book. While his “important to know the historical facts, this book is all about the author and / or Julia’s Pride, feelings and self-satisfaction, rather than to a Jewish family. Feeling among them that I pride the most. Fair tears to hide the true nature this work. I wish there was more emphasis on the Jewish population in this book, but I do not think that the author was able to do so. It is too much “I am Julia.” And the author does not resist montrer.Et could maybe later I realized I had a problem seeing things through the eyes of Sarah, where it should be read in this way. I think all the details of the horrific events described here based on, or something very close to acctually what happened, but I felt that Sarah was somewhere far away and not really at all. At first I thought the writer was not clever enough, and it may be a part of him, but I think It is mainly because the writer wanted to show more, said “I am a good person and has a great job,” wears a mask of an American. And that’s why Julia is much more realistic than Sarah is, as I also pense.En, at a time, I thought I wanted so badly to see Sarah, she suddenly disappears pages. I think it is because Sarah is important to Julia that she feels good about himself, no more and no less. It does not seem worry about the Jewish people as it tries to observe. dit.C The novel itself is the important work, but I do not know how this kind of présentation.Je live in Boston, not an American, not French, nor have relations with the Jewish Famly, but I felt a little anger in me after reading this. Why should this book so much about the journalists? Julia and I left crying, I’m not at all. I’m not going through the tears, the American or French, what needs to be moved. You can cry all the way through the ends, and I’m not at all. I care more about the Jewish people acctually suffered, or if I want, so to me and if I ever write a book about it , I would never say “I care so much for these people!” loud, as this author fait.Vous must modestie.Afficher tears just do not know travail.Je few fiction books that describe the sufferings of the Jewish people at least in certain parts of her plots, Beach Music by Pat Conroy, one of them. When I read fiction, I prefer something like that, a modest approach. But I must admit I do not know much about. I read the good documentation or a not so good novel. Rating: 1 / 5
