People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, published in 2008, is a historical novel inspired by the true story of the Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Jewish manuscript that survived centuries of conflict. The story follows Hanna Heath, an Australian rare book conservator, who 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 a series of historical vignettes that trace the Haggadah’s journey backward through time, revealing the lives of those who protected it. Richly layered and deeply researched, People of the Book blends literary fiction with historical intrigue. Brooks, a former journalist, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2006 for her novel March.
