The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

3.0

Mine is a mind often unencumbered by the dizzying heights of truth philosophy provides despite my fondness for sitting at the mountain’s foot to stare into it’s crowns.
This novel was a delight to read. It took me longer than I would have liked to develop a serious interest and could have ended with a quicker stride. My biggest note is that it often took too many words to express small ideas; I often found the shadow wisdom wished to cast belonged to a much smaller token therein made larger with the light fiction provides.
I was not overly moved by Aaron not Helen - but Ester gripped my mind and did not let go. I hesitated to start this novel and am happy that I did.
