People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks, revolves around the true story of the Sarajevo Haggadah, a 14th-century Sephardic holy book that somehow survived centuries of hatred and destruction. Into this real-life epic tale of heroism and chance, Brooks weaves historical fiction of uncanny force. In her hands, this improbable story of one document's survival becomes both a timely meditation on faiths in conflict and a tense historical thriller. (Barnes & Noble Review)
