It all began with a simple seaside vacation, a brother and sister recapturing their childhood. Antoine thought he had the perfect surprise for his sister M???lanie's birthday: a weekend by the sea at Noirmoutier Island, where the pair spent many happy childhood summers playing on the beach. But the island's haunting beauty triggers more than happy memories; it reminds M???lanie of something unexpected and deeply disturbing about their last island summer. When, on the drive home to Paris, she finally summons the courage to reveal what she knows to Antoine, her emotions overcome her and she loses control of the car. Alone, waiting for news of M???lanie, Antoine reflects on his life: his wife has left him, his teenage children are strangers to him, his job bores him, and his father is an ageing tyrant who still poisons every aspect of his life. How did he end up here? And, more importantly, what was the secret that his sister wanted to tell him? A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay plumbs the depths of complex family relationships and the power of a past secret to change everything in the present.

I just finished A Secret Kept. It was just as good as Sarah's Key. I love this author and can't wait for her next book...Who ever reads this, you won't be disappointed..

on a par with Sarah's Key
enjoyed "A Secret Kept" as much as "Sarah's Key." De Rosnay has a way of drawing you into her story. The characters become part of your life, as you read. Very talented author. Can't wait for her next book, which I understand will be out in October.
