It goes back and forth between 1942 and 2002 in France; a device I just love in books.</i><br /><br />Me, too! I just finished Water For Elephants and felt the same way. <br /><br />I've heard such good things about Sarah's Key. I have B&N gift card so I think that's just what I'll buy.

And the same to you!<br /><br />Diane, thank you, and the same to you. I loved your book wish! <br /><br />JoAnn, I wonder if they thought it might be a sad Holocaust story and didn't think they could bear it. Well, I can't read many, many of them either, but this one was done so well that I could. I think including a modern day section was brilliant. I'm quite sure this is your kind of book.<br /><br />Sarah, there's a quote at the beginning of the book from Suite Francaise. Is this book true or fiction? It is a memoir?<br /><br />Heather, there are just so many blogs about books, and I guess the ones I read just didn't happen to review it. You'll really like it, I'm sure. Thank you and the same to you!<br /><br />Sherri, it is so, so good!<br /><br />Jodi, I'm pleased to know this. Thanks for leaving a note.<br /><br />Val, I think as a mother you may read it in a more involved way than someone who doesn't have kids - both the 1942 sections and the modern one. I didn't want to go into much detail, but the woman Julia has her own stuff to deal with. (no, her child doesn't die! I knew you'd want to know. I never could have read it if she did)<br /><br />K, thank you and the same to you! As I wrote, it is so rare in my life except for one friend. <br /><br />Karin, thank you for your nice words. I am quite sure this You've Got Mail challenge is the lowest key one ever. I think it will be fun because of so many kid books on the list. Happy New Year to you, too!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-73192343206008690672010-01-01T09:20:19.238-05:002010-01-01T09:20:19.238-05:00That is going on my wish list right now.

I didn't add it for some reason, probably because the library doesn't have enough copies. I'll check back. Anyway, I have a copy myself and it looks like I need to find it and read it soon.<br /><br />Loved the parting words you gave us. "NOT WORK"! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
