«Los guardianes del libro» is the historical novel by Geraldine Brooks, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (396 pages, in Spanish).
Manuscript conservator Hanna Heath travels to Sarajevo to restore an illustrated Haggadah created in fifteenth-century Spain. The traces found in its binding —a butterfly wing, wine stains, salt crystals and a white hair— reveal the book's journey through centuries of wars and exiles, while the plot alternates eras and voices up to the present.
Translation by Claudio Molinari; original title in English, People of the Book. It won the Massachusetts Book Award (2009) and the Australian Book Industry Award (2008).
For lovers of historical fiction and stories about manuscripts; also a good choice for reading clubs.
Geraldine Brooks is an Australian-American journalist and novelist. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 2005 novel March.
