I am amazed that this book has so few reviews because it was really a joy to read.
It is a very moving story about the French Deportations during the Second World War,
but at the same time is a story of a family in Paris in 2002.
At first the Author tells the two stories seperately in alternating Chapters, until the two
stories entwine and then is told from one point of view.
Sad, and moving, the story grips you so that you just can't put it down and although we know all the horrors
and abominations of that era, the Author doesn't dwell long on them,but still portrays
the seriousness in a light, melancholic way. A story that you can't put down, and stays
in your mind long after it is finished.
