People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks   (NEW)  

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks (NEW)



Description
The book came across six-hundred years and an entire continent. Through the hands of the devout, the desperate and the deadly. To the one woman who can bring it all to glorious life...

During World War II a Bosnian Muslim risks his life to face the book from the Nazis; it gets caught up in the intrigues of the hedonistic denizens of nineteenth-century Vienna; a Catholic priest saves it from burning in the fires of the Inquisition; these stories and more make up the secret history of the priceless Sarajevo Haggadah - a medieval Jewish prayer book recovered from the smouldering ruins of the war torn city.

Now it is in the skilled hands of the rare-book restorer Hanna Heath. And while the content of book interests her, it is the hidden history which captures her imagination. Because to her the tiny clues - salt crystals, a hair, wine stains - that she discovers in the pages and bindings, are keys to unlock its mysteries...
