«People of the Book» is the historical novel by Geraldine Brooks, published by Fourth Estate in hardcover (356 pages, in English).
Australian conservator Hanna Heath travels to Sarajevo to restore the Haggadah, an illustrated Hebrew manuscript from the fifteenth century. The traces she discovers in its binding —a butterfly wing, wine stains, salt, and a white hair— lead her to reconstruct the book's journey through wars and exiles, and the lives of those who protected it.
It won the Australian Book Industry Award and the Massachusetts Book Award, and was nominated for the Dublin Literary Award.
For book clubs and readers of historical fiction interested in manuscripts, religion, and mystery.
Geraldine Brooks is an Australian-American journalist and novelist. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 2005 novel March.
