Sarah's Key
The Second World War produced a lot of great literature. This book is based on the 1942 round up of the French Jews (which I didn't even know had happened before I read the book), known as the Vel d'Hiv round up. Sarah thinks she is protecting her little brother by locking him in a closet when the French police collect them, intending to come back for him later.
The story is intertwined with the story of a journalist with a failing marriage writing about the Vel d'Hiv round up 60 years later. She discovers the story of Sarah and decides to try and find her.
There is also a movie made from the book, which is very true to the story of the book.
