The bestselling novel that follows a rare manuscript through centuries of exile and war, from the author of The Secret Chord and of March, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Inspired by a true story, People of the Book is a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity by an acclaimed and beloved author. Called "a tour de force"by the San Francisco Chronicle, this ambitious, electrifying work traces the harrowing journey of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in fifteenth-century Spain. When it falls to Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, to conserve this priceless work, the series of tiny artifacts she discovers in its ancient binding-an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair-only begin to unlock its deep mysteries and unexpectedly plunges Hanna into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultra-nationalist fanatics.Binding Type: Paperback

A story of early love rekindled, and persistence overcoming obstacles
Format: Paperback
More than just a romance, this is a story of early love rekindled, and of persistence overcoming obstacles.
The tale of Jo and Lauren spans two decades and takes the reader to London, Paris, California, and the Pacific Northwest. The plot moves briskly, with unexpected twists. If you expect a pickup in a laundromat, a brawl in a bar, or a love scene at a mountain campsite...you'll be surprised.
The novel confronts the challenges faced by a same-sex couple trying to find a home in the days before marriage equality became widespread.
Funny, tender, and heartbreaking by turns, A Place For Us will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Worth reading!
Format: Kindle
Patricia Grayhall has written a sensitive and enlightening story that introduced me to the difficulties facing same sex couples before the countries of the world (absent a very few) became open to the reality of sexual attraction and love between same sex couples. A well written and good love story.

A Must Read For Senior Sapphic Women
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books for older sapphic women that I've ever read. It is so refreshing to not only have books for gay women but even better to have them for the "gray hair" crowd. Grayhall is a wonderful writer that keeps you spellbound. Three cheers for her.
