The Genizah at the House of Shepher by Tamar Yellin
Returning to Jerusalem after a long absence, Shulamit Shepher becomes embroiled in a family feud over possession of the so called Shepher Codex, a mysterious and valuable Torah manuscript discovered in her grandparents' attic genizah, a depository for old or damaged sacred documents.
"* "Yellin's first novel is impossible to put down... Beauty, deep love, and a timelessness will likely make it a classic." Booklist (starred review)"
