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
