December 2011- "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana De Rosnay

"Zakhor. Al Tichkah. Remember. Never forget."

Gwen hosted a lovely evening where we discussed selfish choices and the impetus behind them.  We explored the reasons for which people make difficult choices and how those choices are affected by a perception of the world around them.  We put ourselves in the place of the book's main characters and discussed the choices we hope we ourselves would have made in the same situations.  We discussed the author's choices in regard to telling this unique story.  We also discussed prejudice and it's evolution over different generations and cultures.  Thanks for a wonderful evening everyone!
