By Geraldine Brooks
Hanna
Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a
lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famous Sarajevo Haggadah,
which was rescued during the Bosnian war. When Hanna discovers a series
of tiny artifacts in the book's ancient binding, she begins to unlock
its mysteries. Geraldine Brooks (author of March and Year of Wonders )
has constructed a marvelously intertwined narrative with one strand
tied to the contemporary world and the other leading us back into
European history, into wars and inquisitions and family tragedies, all
of this making up a vividly narrated, powerfully emotional quest.
$15.00 Accompanied by a folding map of the global journey of the Sarajevo Haggadah, as imagined in the book (while supplies last)
