This book was GREAT! A difficult read due to the fact that it dealt with the roundup of Jewish families in Paris in 1942, and particularly the story of Sarah. There was also a parallel story with Julia as a journalist writing a story about the roundup. She becomes embroiled in Sarah's story and it affects her life in ways she didn't anticipate. I highly recommend this book.

"My grandfather brought me to see this movie on a Saturday afternoon in a theater in the suburbs of Paris. I was 11 and it was PG-13. I was petrified when the film started, feeling as though I was in a forbidden place. Since the heroine was a little girl my age, I totally identified with her and felt that I was also possessed by the devil."

"This is the film in which Rohmer’s mapping instinct went into overdrive. Perhaps even more so than The Sign of Leo, this film feels like it’s primarily about the spaces of Paris, and only secondarily about its main characters. Very interesting shooting technique too – Rohmer and his tiny film crew just went out onto the street with the main actors, followed the story, and found locations as they went along."
