Would recommend: Maybe

I liked this book well enough. The background stories behind the book in question, the Sarajevo haggadah, were interesting to read, and I enjoyed seeing the links get fleshed out. I was annoyed, however, that I began to know more than the main character, and then the ending ruined it for me. I thought it came out of nowhere, and it didn't add much value to the overall plotline. There are strong themes here, but the execution seemed clumsy. I'm disappointed because I really liked March, which is by Geraldine Brooks as well.
