The other night our book club met to discuss People of the Book. While most seemed to like the book, although not necessarily Hanna the main character (or her mother) it was difficult to generate much discussion. I enjoyed the way the book was set up- and how it went backwards in time to explain each artifact that was uncovered in the restoration. I did not feel it was necessary to have the ending include the question of authenticity. That took away something for me in the story. Next book is The Pick Up by Nadine Gordimer,
