Rachel Kadish • The Weight of Ink<br />
Sponsored by Collier/Lee<br />
Chapter of Hadassh<br />
Set in London in both the 1660s and the early 21 st century, The Weight of Ink<br />
is the interwoven tale of two women of remarkable intellect: Ester Velasquez,<br />
an emigrant from Amsterdam who is permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi, just<br />
before the plague hits the city; and Helen Watt, an ailing historian with a love<br />
of <strong>Jewish</strong> history. Electrifying and ambitious, sweeping in scope and intimate<br />
in tone, The Weight of Ink is a sophisticated work of historical fiction about<br />
women separated by centuries, and the choices and sacrifices they must make<br />
in order to reconcile the life of the heart and mind.<br />
Rachel Kadish is the award-winning author of the novels From a Sealed Room<br />
and Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story, and the novella I Was Here.<br />
