kfreedman 's review for:

The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish
3.0

I enjoyed this book, with parallel stories in the 17th and 21st centuries. It was a quick read for me and quite entertaining. However I thought that one of the story lines, about the love life of 21st century postgraduate, was rather incongruous with other descriptions of him and took away from the rest of the book. Some of the twists and turns of their relationship felt forced and unnecessary. All in all, a perfectly good, seemingly well-researched novel!
