People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great book and great book discussion!  We started off with history of the real Sarajevo Haggadah and I projected pictures from this website:  http://www.haggadah.ba/

Everyone was fascinated with the historical and scientific research involved in producing this book.

Time and Again by Jack Finney

Because it was difficult to get multiple copies of Cutting for Stone the group decided to read Time and Again for our September meeting. Ellen recommended this book and it is one of my favorites.
