Sarajevo Haggadah


I really enjoyed People of the Book, by the way. It provided some good light relief in the breaks during the tutorial I attended. The lobby at the Westin Hotel had a cosy fire and warm sunny spots to read in, as well as something of a library of books surrounding the fire. The inspiration for Geraldine Brook's story was the Sarajevo Haggadah, pictured.

That book sure had a very long and incredible journey. Reading such a book as People is totally transporting, giving glimpses of histories I never knew existed. Magical.
