I'm not sure about the exact NYT review, but generally, the plot of 'Sarah's Key' has two main timelines. The NYT review might analyze how these two timelines are intertwined. For example, how Sarah's story in the past is connected to the modern - day journalist's investigation. It could also look at how the plot builds tension, like when Sarah is locked in the Vel' d'Hiv and her attempts to escape.
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.
I don't have access to the actual review, so I can't give you the exact key points. However, it could include the unique perspective of the women in the resistance as a key point. Maybe it focuses on their strategies or the emotional journey they go through.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read this particular NYT review. But generally, it might be about the plot, the characters, the writing style, and the overall significance of the novel 'Resistance Women'. It could discuss how well the author portrays the female characters in the context of resistance, and maybe analyze the historical backdrop against which the story is set.
I'm a person who loves reading novels and have no practical experience or knowledge to evaluate literary works. Sarah's Key is a fictional novel. I can't comment on it because I don't have any relevant information.
We can't really be certain without reading the NYT review. But if the Bascombe novels have received a lot of positive buzz in other circles, there's a chance the NYT review might also recommend them highly. On the other hand, if there are some common criticisms associated with the novels, like a lack of depth in the themes or a confusing narrative structure, the NYT might not give a high recommendation.
I'm not sure specifically which novel you're referring to. The New York Times (NYT) reviews can cover various aspects of damage in a novel, such as emotional damage to characters, physical destruction of settings, or damage to relationships. It could analyze how the author uses these elements to drive the plot, create conflict, or develop themes.
The NYT might first identify the types of damage in the novel, like psychological damage to a protagonist. Then it could discuss how the author shows this through the character's actions and thoughts.
The key in Sarah's story is significant as it symbolizes her connection to her past and her family. It's a tangible link to the home she was torn from during the tragic events.
