** spoiler alert ** This book started out so good, it almost took my breath away. I liked the way Ms. de Rosnay alternated between Sarah's narrative in 1942 and Julia's narrative in 2002, even using different fonts for the two narratives. But after Sarah's narratives ended, the story became pretty schmaltzy. I knew Julia wouldn't go through with the abortion, no matter what her husband wanted; that part didn't bother me so much. But her single-minded obsession with finding Sarah went overboard. She went as far as going to America to hunt Sarah down, and then when she finally got there and found out she was dead, she found out where her adult son was living (Italy) and flew all the way there to tell him what she'd found out about his mother. He was understandably upset, having his world pulled out from under him like that, and told her to never contact him again. But then later he comes around and hunts Julia down? Come on, give me a break. Also, the way Eduoard and Mamè act about the whole thing, with Mamè privately telling Zoë the family's terrible secret behind Julia's back before she dies and Eduoard rallying around Julia and telling her everything himself - it just left me shaking my head. The whole ending was too much "happy ever after" for me, even though Julia and Bertrand divorce. And then there's the baby. As soon as Julia started referring to the baby as "the baby" instead of saying a name, I knew she named her Sarah. And sure enough, she did. I had read really mixed reviews about this book, basically saying it started out good but ended up kind of the way I described it. I should have listened to the reviews and stayed away, but I'm so interested in World War II that I decided to bite the bullet and read it anyway. I really wish I hadn't, the last half ruined the first half for me.
