is this a book or movie
This work of fiction provides insights into the Vel d'Hiv, a true historical event from the WWII era that has been largely ignored not only by the U.S. by also by France, where it happened. A fairly quick read, I picked up this book and could not put it down until I had finished. It is complex and compelling story about human nature, and the ways in which our lives are effected by not only those around us but those who came before us.
