Novelist Geraldine Brooks
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks has written a new historical novel, "The Secret Chord," which focuses on the biblical King David. Managing editor Kim Lawton visited Brooks at her home on Martha’s Vineyard to talk about the writer’s conversion to Judaism, her sense of Jewish spirituality, and what she learned while researching the Hebrew prophets and the story of David, whose life, she says, embodies “the dark and the light of the human condition.”

Geraldine Brooks: Being an Author
As many children do, Geraldine Brooks grew up devouring tales from faraway lands, replete with landscapes and monuments foreign to her own suburban Sydney home. Her books' settings were hardly fictional however: The Wind in the Willows and The Secret Garden take place in a very real but distant world - England. "They were good books, but they came between me and my country," Brooks says. "Australia had been an independent nation since 1901, but in the 1960s, my imagination was still a British colony."

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 S pain. 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.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks has written a new historical novel, "The Secret Chord," which focuses on the biblical King David. Managing editor Kim Lawton visited Brooks at her home on Martha’s Vineyard to talk about the writer’s conversion to Judaism, her sense of Jewish spirituality, and what she learned while researching the Hebrew prophets and the story of David, whose life, she says, embodies “the dark and the light of the human condition.”

As many children do, Geraldine Brooks grew up devouring tales from faraway lands, replete with landscapes and monuments foreign to her own suburban Sydney home. Her books' settings were hardly fictional however: The Wind in the Willows and The Secret Garden take place in a very real but distant world - England. "They were good books, but they came between me and my country," Brooks says. "Australia had been an independent nation since 1901, but in the 1960s, my imagination was still a British colony."
