I recently finished "People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks. Based on the known history of a real medieval Hebrew text, It's a fictional account of how the book was created and traveled from Spain to Sarajevo, where it was rediscovered 500 years later. The history is interwoven with a present-day story of the book's conservation and restoration. Although there were a few details in the present-day story that seemed unlikely, it was a well-written and interesting read.
