SUMMARY:Must Read Mondays - "The Weight Of Ink\," by Rachel Kadish
DESCRIPTION: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\, 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. \nWhen 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 project: to determine the identity of the documents’ scribe\, the elusive “Aleph.” \nElectrifying 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. \n(description by publisher)\n\nPlease fill out this form to get the GoToMeeting sign in information.\nhttps://forms.gle/UE9ZDT8ZD3a7UAQs8

SUMMARY:Must Read Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school\, far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported\, trained in art and literature\, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But\, curiously\, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Within the grounds of Hailsham\, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman\, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is.\n\nPlease fill out this form to get the GoToMeeting sign in information.\nhttps://forms.gle/UE9ZDT8ZD3a7UAQs8
