(pg. 66-67)
Since the beginning of the book every chapter has been alternating between Sarah in 1942 and Julia in 2002. Starting on page 67, Sarah's story is no longer told. At first it leads you to believe that Sarah was taken by the French police and killed. But the more you read Julia's story, the more you start to wonder what really happened to Sarah.
Other than the connection of the old woman with the bread, there is another connection between Sarah and Julia.
Julia was asking Mamé questions about the Vel' d'Hiv when Edouard (Julia's father in law) warned Julia to never ask her again. Julia became suspicious when Eduoard told her not to talk to her about it. Julia then finds out from a conversation with Edouard that the house that Julia is to move into, rue de Saintonge, was Sarah and her family's house before they were taken away. A huge coincidence that Julia and Sarah would have lived in the same house. Julia then learns that Eduoard's father was the little boy who answered the door when Sarah came to find Michel.
