The Weight of Ink

Set against the backdrop of 1660s London and the early twenty-first century, The Weight of Ink intertwines the stories of two remarkable women: Ester Velasquez, an emigrant scribe for a blind rabbi during the plague, and Helen Watt, a historian passionate about Jewish history. When Helen is called to examine newly found seventeenth-century Jewish documents, she partners with the charming Aaron Levy to uncover the identity of the mysterious scribe known as "Aleph." This electrifying tale explores the choices and sacrifices made by women across time as they navigate the intersection of intellect and emotion.
