The adventure novel by the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Geraldine Brooks, will take readers on a journey to the past, where people of completely different faiths, cultures and nationalities protected the priceless Book. Sarajevo, 1996. Hanna Geet examines a medieval manuscript - the Sarajevo Haggadah. Between its pages, she finds a fragment of a butterfly wing, a pinch of salt, a white hair, immersing readers in the history of the people who have kept the Book for centuries. Unexpectedly, the manuscript attracts the interest of the Bosnian authorities and a Mossad agent, and the woman finds herself in a vortex of political intrigue that she must unravel."
