There are some parts of this book I really like. The Sarajevo Haggadah is an actual 600-year old illuminated Jewish manuscript, saved from looting and bombing by a Muslim archivist in 1996. This novel is an attempt by the author to explore and imagine the history of the book itself starting in the present day going backwards. Much of the historical detail is based on in-depth research of the manuscript, and the author has seen the manuscript and worked with the conservators of it, which is quite an advantage. The story of the Haggadah continues beyond the story in this book. The national museums, archives, and libraries in Bosnia have closed down due to lack of funding, and right now the manuscript (hopefully) sits in a safe place behind a locked vault of a museum without any staff or open hours. I like the vibrancy that detail brings to the novel, as if all of it might very well be true, and some of it is! Not as successful is the character of the conservator - I liked her in the first 50 pages back when I speed-dated the book, but her story soon got to be so unbelievable and ridiculous that I found myself racing through the present day sections to get to the historical fiction bits. Her mother, her unknown father, her relationship, working in caves... all just a little too dramatic, also unnecessary. The story of the haggadah is interesting enough. It doesn't need embellishment! I think this addition makes it read more like a beach read than it would have had the potential to otherwise. Perhaps that is a Brooks level, not having read any of her other books, I couldn't say.
