Or Ami Book Group: Discussing “People of the Book” by Geraldine Brooks
Tuesday, June 24 – 9:30 am to 11:30 am PDT (at the home of Carol Hanson)
About the book: This ambitious, electrifying work traces the harrowing journey of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in fifteenth-century Spain. When it falls to Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, to conserve this priceless work, the series of tiny artifacts she discovers in its ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—only begin to unlock its deep mysteries and unexpectedly plunges Hanna into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultranationalist fanatics.
Address will be sent to you in a confirmation email after registering.
