The new novel from the author of ‘March’ and ‘Year of
Wonders’ takes place in the aftermath of the Bosnian War, as a
young book conservator arrives in Sarajevo to restore a lost
treasure. When Hannah Heath gets a call in the middle of the night
in her Sydney home about a precious medieval manuscript which has
been recovered from the smouldering ruins of wartorn Sarajevo, she
knows she is on the brink of the experience of a lifetime. A
renowned book conservator, she must now make her way to Bosnia to
start work on restoring The Sarajevo Haggadah, a Jewish prayer book
– to discover its secrets and piece together the story of its
miraculous survival. But the trip will also set in motion a series
of events that threaten to rock Hannah’s orderly life, including
her encounter with Ozren Karamen, the young librarian who risked
his life to save the book. As meticulously researched as all of
Brooks’s previous work, ‘People of the Book’ is a gripping
and moving novel about war, art, love and survival.
