A review by liketheday
The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

4.0

I found this long, dense, thinky novel surprisingly absorbing and difficult to walk away from to do things like eat and sleep. I don't usually love learning about history but this particular aspect was so completely unfamiliar to me that it didn't feel teachy but instead absolutely fascinating. The writing is what really sells the book, though, to the point that I read the author Q&A at the end just to have more time with the author's words. I'm very excited to talk about this one with my book club.
