The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

3.0

I am reading this book for a very enjoyable class, however the book suffers when compared to others like [b:Possession|41219|Possession|A.S. Byatt|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391124124l/41219._SY75_.jpg|2246190] and [b:Year of Wonders|4965|Year of Wonders|Geraldine Brooks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1651171905l/4965._SY75_.jpg|3211895]. I expected greater depth into the natural philosophers and the evolution of thinking. These philosophical and religious ideas are merely a vehicle for delivering the story of 20th century scholars discovering original source material from the sixteen century. I did enjoy the opportunity to immerse myself in the Jewish history of Restoration England and once I found the author's intent, I was able to settle into the story and enjoy it for what it was.
