People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks

3.0

When Hanna Heath, noted book conservator, is asked to study the centuries-old Sarajevo Haggadah, the book's history slowly comes to life. I enjoyed much of this story, which flashes between modern-day and the various centuries of the life of the book, but parts of it (especially some of the flashbacks to earlier times) REALLY dragged, and didn't add anything to the narrative. The last 75 or so pages tie things up a little too neatly. But certainly an interesting and informative read based on the real Sarajevo Haggadah.
