People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks

5.0

I had a hard time getting into this since I'd read a series of thrillers right before, and was used to the fast pace. This is a gentle read, slow to start and very absorbing, and by the end, riveting. I recommend it highly. I was looking for a sort of Red Tent of a book, and while very different, it was just as satisfying.
