Faith in Fiction: People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks

Faith in Fiction will meet on Monday, March 20th at 7pm to discuss People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.

Location - 803 Cattleya Ct. Louisville, KY 40207

“Inspired by a true story, People of the Book is a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity by an acclaimed and beloved author. Called “a tour de force” by the San Francisco Chronicle, this ambitious, electrifying work traces the harrowing journey of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in fifteenth-century Spain. When it falls to Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, to conserve this priceless work, the series of tiny artifacts she discovers in its ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—only begin to unlock its deep mysteries and unexpectedly plunges Hanna into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultranationalist fanatics.” — Penguin Books

Our book discussions aim to equip each member to read and interpret cultural artifacts thoughtfully from a Christian perspective, and to learn to discuss challenging content graciously.
