Inspired by the true story of the Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Jewish manuscript that survived centuries of war, the novel follows Hanna Heath, a rare book conservator from Australia. Hanna is called to restore the Haggadah after it resurfaces in war-torn Bosnia during the 1990s. The narrative alternates between Hanna's present-day investigation and historical vignettes that trace the Haggadah’s journey backward through time, revealing the lives of those who protected it. It’s a sweeping, multi-layered novel that blends literary fiction with historical intrigue. Brooks, a former journalist, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2006 for her novel March.
