The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish
5.0

Entwined stories of Esther, a 17th century woman, and Helen, a 20th century historian, is rich and detailed for both. The details were fascinating, and the philosophy noted here were also captivating. At times the secondary characters were not fully fleshed out, and the details of the lives that both women end up living a bit of an extreme, but the truth of academic rivalry and human frailty are also included. Well worth the read.
