I just finished PEOPLE OF THE BOOK by Geraldine Brooks. Partly true but mostly historical fiction. It's about a manuscript preservationist and the 500 year old Haggadah known as the Sarajevo Haggadah, famous because it was beautifully illustrated by an unknown artist at a time when all three major religions practiced iconoclasm. The original is back in Sarejevo, but its travels in the 20th century would remind you of an Indiana Jones adventure. The book takes you on a journey back in time, the author having imagined where the manuscript had been, who had owned it, and how it was created. On a more subtle level, it is a book about religious similarities and reconciliation.
