Die Hochzeitsgabe: Roman

Wow this is the fastest book I've read in a while.. I spent every moment I could emersed in the storyline.This is a really interesting read. A blending of known historical facts used as a framework for a mesmerising look into the way books survive in a turbulent world. The author has done a lot of research and blended it seamlessly into a story full of the wonder and awe of how the book May have come into existence. The switches between the different timelines are very easy to follow, taking the reader back into the books past blending fact with fiction in European history, religion, war, the inquisition and how this unusual Jewish Haggadah came to be in Sarajevo. The afterward is a must read.I googled the book after reading, so as not to spoil the story. I do love books that inspire you to research more about an event or object (a story based on war-torn  Yugoslavia was the last fiction I read that made me research more about a subject read in a fictional book Check out this book on Goodreads: For the Love of Roman https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56677716-for-the-love-of-roman)This story obviously written by a prize winning author is more polished than the book above.but both fictional books have inspired me to delve into the history of the subject.
