Amazon.com description: Product Description: Paris, July 1942: The French police brutally arrest ten year-old Sarah and her family in the Vel' d'Hiv' roundup, but not before she locks her younger brother in a cupboard thinking that she'll be back in a few hours. Paris, May 2002: On Vel' d'Hiv's 60th anniversary, Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about this black day in France's past. She stumbles onto a trail of long-hidden family secrets that connect her to Sarah. Compelled to retrace the girl's ordeal, she questions her own place in France, and to reevaluate her marriage and her life. Description in Spanish: Paris, julio de 1942. Las autoridades arrestan a 13.000 judios ante la mirada de los parisinos, que guardan silencio por miedo, indiferencia o simple interes, pues esperan ocupar las viviendas vacias. El pequeno Michel se oculta en un armario para huir de la redada. Su hermana Sarah cierra la puerta para protegerle y se guarda la llave, pensando que va a regresar en unas horas. Sin embargo, el destino de los Starzynski es protagonizar una de las paginas mas luctuosas de la historia gala. Los gendarmes confinan a los miles de detenidos durante cinco dias en el Velodromo de Invierno, cerca de la Torre Eiffel, sin comida ni agua. Despues envian a las familias a un campo de concentracion frances, donde los separan como paso previo a su posterior traslado a Auschwitz. Paris, mayo de 2002. Julia Jarmond, una periodista norteamericana afincada en Francia desde hace veinte anos, recibe el encargo de preparar un reportaje con ocasion del sexagesimo aniversario de la redada. La reportera reconstruye el itinerario de los Starzynski y la lucha denodada de Sarah por salvar a su hermano, pero lo ultimo que puede imaginar es que la investigacion le conduzca hasta los Tezac, la familia de su marido. La epopeya de la nina judia sera un ejemplo a seguir para Julia y para quienes han vivido marcados por el peso de la culpa. La llave de Sarah abre, entre otras cosas, la puerta de la redencion.
