Taury's Reviews > People of the Book

I really enjoy Geraldine Brooks books. People of the Book is no exception. Her books are rich in researched history. Great strong characters. Story line that immediately pulls in the reader. My only issue is there are so many different characters. You get into one story line and it switches. In this case it is a dual time line. Just as I was finding my way it switched again to new characters. This book was about is about finding a Rare Ancient Prayer Book, Sarajevo Haggadda. The story went backwards from WWII to to the 1600s. This went through various religious cultures that included Christians, Jews and Muslims. Wonderful plot line. Just have patience to keep everything straight.
