Synopsis
Geraldine Brooks follows up her Pulitzer Prize-winning MARCH with a novel that traces the origins of one of the world's most precious books, the illuminated manuscript known as the Sarajevo Haggadah. Hanna Heath, an Australian book conservator, arrives in war torn Bosnia in order to help restore the Haggadah, and Brooks uses this as a jumping-off point to travel back through time to show the winding path of the holy treasure. Created in Seville in the 14th century, the book barely escaped destruction during the Inquisition; it traveled through Venice and Vienna before nearly falling into the hands of the Nazis in Yugoslavia. PEOPLE OF THE BOOK is a richly evocative journey through history---the novel captures the beauty and mystery of Jewish tradition despite being continually surrounded and hounded by the ravages of war and persecution.
