On the advice of my Parisian uncle, I plan on reading Tatiana de Rosnay's novel, "Sarah's Key." The book has gotten a lot of buzz on the international scene in the last year and I believe St. Martin's Press will be publishing a paperback version on this side of the Atlantic in September.
According to the novel's description, it is a fictionalized account of "the 1942 Paris roundups and deportations, in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested, held at the Vélodrome d'Hiver outside the city, then transported to Auschwitz."
I'll probably write a review sometime this summer but in the meantime you can check out this recent interview with de Rosnay:
