Publisher's Synopsis
1996. Hanna Heath, a rare-book expert, works on the conservation of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah. The priceless book has been rescued from shelling during the Bosnian war, and is one of the earliest illustrated Jewish volumes. When Hanna discovers tiny artefacts in its binding - an insect wing fragment, salt crystals, a hair - she unlocks the book's mysteries. She also traces the book's journey from when during World War II, a Muslim risks his life protecting it from the Nazis, to the time of the inquisition, when a Catholic priest saves it from burning. And, in Seville in 1480, the reason for the Haggadah's extraordinary illustrations is finally disclosed... Hannah's investigation will test her belief in herself and the man she has come to love...
