Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay is told from two different viewpoints -- a third-person perspective from 1942 France during World War II, and a first-person narrative in present-day. The first-person account is told by an American journalist living in Paris, trying to research a round-up that took place during the Vichy regime in July 1942. The chapters alternate between the two perspectives, which I found most interesting so far, as they slowly tie together. Another interesting thing I read about so far is that much of the French seemed to be ignorant of how it was the French police who rounded up French children and sent them to concentration camps, not just the Gestapo or Nazis.
