Sarah's key by Tatiana de Rosnay
On the sixtieth anniversary of the 1942 roundup of Jews by the French police in the Vel d'Hiv section of Paris, American journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article on this dark episode during World War II and embarks on an investigation that leads her to long-hidden family secrets and to the ordeal of Sarah, a young girl caught up in the raid.

Hello Walkers,
We have had some challenges with blizzards and freezing temperatures lately but we will keep on walking! We are all happy to begin Sara's Key! Due to the weather cancelation we decided to break the book up into 3 sections
(3 weeks instead of 4) and keep our schedule for next month's book on track.
Here's the breakdown:
Week one- 1-100
Week two- 101-201
Week three-202-End
Keep warm, keep walking!
tres interessant, merci
It's official and unanimous- Sarah's Key is a wonderful read! Our discussion was lively and many in the group had trouble stopping at the designated page. We are happy to be reading a book that carries US along again instead of worrying about all The Things THEY Carried. It is picture time for Nancy and me. We are asking all our walker's who are willing to put on your best workout wear and be ready for pictures next week. We are also needing sound bites, tag lines, quick quotes.....whatever you can think of....about The Walking Book Club that we can use in a PowerPoint presentation. We want others to hear what YOU think! We are "stepping" into new ground and want to share our energetic book club with the wider community!!!! How fun!
Have a great weekend, happy stepping!

"Very interesting, Thank you."
Welcome to the Walking Book Club Anonymous!
ok, I can't be there tonight...as you remember, but I had to blog how sad I was to read about the discovery of the little brother. Somehow I just hoped that he was going to be found in time. It was heartbreaking, but I guess if he was found alive it would make the overall story less devestating, so I understand why he was not. There is little redeeming about the neighbors and onlookers who by their inaction supported this gruesome event.
