The Weight Of Ink
WINNER OF A NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD

"A gifted writer, astonishingly adept at nuance, narration, and the politics of passion."āToni Morrison
Set 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 intellect: Ester Velasquez, anĀ 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.Ā
Ā
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,Ā an American graduate student as impatient as he is charming, and embarks on one last project: to determine the identity of the documents' scribe, the elusive "Aleph."
Ā Ā
Electrifying and ambitious,Ā The Weight of Ink is about women separated by centuriesāand the choices and sacrifices they must makeĀ in order to reconcile the life of the heart and mind.
