I haven't actually read the NYT review specifically. But generally, 'Sarah's Key' is a powerful novel that delves into the dark history of the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup in France during World War II. It might be praised in the review for its vivid portrayal of the characters, especially Sarah, a young Jewish girl. The novel's ability to alternate between different time periods and tell a multi - faceted story could also be a point of acclaim in the NYT review.
