Weight of Ink - Thryft

Women through centuries unite in Jewish history.

The Weight of Ink presents a brilliant tale of the interwoven lives of two women. This intellectually stimulating historical fiction is a page-turner with a narrative jigsaw puzzle that will appeal to both historical fiction readers and others. It is a story of two strong female protagonists from different centuries, with their personal and intellectual ambitions intricately overlapping with each other.

Description

WINNER OF A NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARDA USA TODAY BESTSELLER"A gifted writer, astonishingly adept at nuance, narration, and the politics of passion."—Toni MorrisonSet in London of the 1660s and of the early twenty-first century, The Weight of Ink is the interwoven tale of two women of remarkable Ester Velasquez, an emigrant from Amsterdam who is permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi, just before the plague hits the city; and Helen Watt, an ailing historian with a love of Jewish history.  When Helen is summoned by a former student to view a cache of newly discovered seventeenth-century Jewish documents, she enlists the help of Aaron Levy, an American graduate student as impatient as he is charming, and embarks on one last to determine the identity of the documents' scribe, the elusive "Aleph."  Electrifying and ambitious,  The Weight of Ink is about women separated by centuries—and the choices and sacrifices they must make in order to reconcile the life of the heart and mind.
