Geraldine Brooks’s People of the Book is the story of a rare illustrated manuscript, the (fictional) Sarajevo Haggadah, through the centuries. A modern book conservator is selected to rebind it, and as she carries out her assignment, she discovers its origins and how it has passed through history and the hands of those who have cared for it.
Beautifully done and remarkable in reminding us that books aren’t just things but can have true presence, beauty, and permanency, and that they can bear witness to human endeavor even as they carry our history within their pages.
