Based on the true story of a rare 600 yr old Haggadah that surfaced in Bosnia, this is great historical fiction. Geraldine Brooks weaves a powerful story (be warned, some of the anti-semitic history/imagery is very disturbing) that jumps between centuries and countries. The lead character is a book restorer trying to gain insight into the book's history using modern science. Fascinating and educational, I loved it!
