We haven't read too many books on asian culture, but this book takes you inside the walls of a household of dominating men and how the females endured pain and suffering to be worthy of a husband. As painful as it was to read how their little feet were bound everyday, it really opened up our eyes into their world.

Never knew of the roundup of Vel D Hiv. This book brought to light the involvement of the French in the horrific days and months leading up to the execution of innocent men, women and children. As heart wrenching it was to learn of the brutal treatment of the Jews it was very informative and an inspiring story of how Sarah was helped...and how she never gave up hope.
