A review by elleninkansas
The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

5.0

It took me a little while to get my get my head around the characters, the two time periods in which the novel takes place, and the historical references, but several chapters in, I was hooked and settled in for the ride. This is a lovely story about two women three centuries apart but united by a thirst for knowledge and the power of the written word. I wish I could see the house where the collection of papers was found in the novel. The description is magnificent. For all who loved People of the Book, I highly recommend.
