My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
I think I read too much press on this one because my expectations were way high that it was going to be fabulous. I also thought it was going to be more of a DaVinci code like mystery. Not so much.



What it turned out to be was a time travelling story with a present day book restorer finding intriguing things in and about a very old Hagedah (Jewish prayer book) like a feather or a seed with the next chapter going back in time to tell how it got there. The historical stories were interesting and I enjoyed how it went together.



There was also a great deal about the life of our book expert heroine as she delves into her relationship with her Mother, learns about her heritage and has a romance.



Nice read but not fabulous.
