People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks

http://www.geraldinebrooks.com/people.html

What a powerful book!  A rare illuminated Hebrew manuscript is created in Muslim Spain and survives a perilous five-century journey through Venice, Vienna, and Sarajevo.  The book was inspired by the true story of a mysterious codex known as the Sarajevo Haggdah.  It is a journey you will remember for a long while.
