The group met at Jessica's house for some great discussion. Those present were: Jessica, Kristen, Emily, Elissa, Sheila, Jackie, Debbie, and newcomer Erin. We enjoyed some great desserts including brownies, lemon bars, smores chex mix, and cookies with our talk.
We all agreed the book was very sad and somewhat disturbing in some parts. Many thought the main character Julia really went too far when jumping from country to country with child in tow to find out about Sarah. However, when put in Julia's shoes a few of us thought we might need to know what happened to her too, but not by being so impulsive. We all wished for a different outcome for Sarah. Many of us really despised the character of Betrard, Julia's husband. We also learned much about the occupation in France that we were not aware of. This book was really similar to the last book with the historical references.
I just read that Sarah's key will be a movie released sometime next year. " G illes Paquet Brenner's movie Sarah's Key adapted from Tatiana de Rosnay's novel will be released in Europe and the USA between October and spring 2011. "www.sarahskey.com
It will be interesting to see how this novel is portrayed on the big screen. I wonder if it has brought some awareness to the suffering of people in France, especially Paris during this time. I think Adventures in Bookclub will have to go see the movie!!
Our next book will be: The Scent of Rain and Lightening by Nancy Pickard we will meet on November 30th at Kristen's house.
