People of the Book
This book is fiction but inspired by the true story of the Hebrew codex known as the Sarajevo Haggadah. A rare book expert, Hanna, is offered the job of a life time analysis and conservation of a mysterious beautifully illuminaated Hebrew manuscript, The narrator Hanna finde traces of salt water, wine, a white hair, a part of an insect etc in the book At each discovery the next chapter goes back to the time that that thing got in the book. The book was saved by a Catholic, a Muslim and others who were not Jewish. There is much more to this book. The book jacket will describe it better than I can but I found it a very worth while read. It is one I keep thinking of for days.
We are still very busy here. I mostly answer the phone and clean up the kitchen, knit and read. Last night we saw the play, The Producers in Milwaakee. I had seen both the old and newer movie and the broadway play with Nathen Lane. I thought these actors just as good and enjoyed the play all over again. If you can’t see the play I would recommend that you rent the movie.
