Weight of Ink (Kadish) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[An] emotionally rewarding novel follows the familiar pattern of present-day academics trying to make sense of a mystery from the past.… Helen and Aaron’s sparking relationship is vivid and memorable, as the two historians discover how desire can transcend time.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) This astonishing third novel from Kadish introduces readers to the 17th-century Anglo-Jewish world with not only excellent scholarship but also fine storytelling. The riveting narrative and well-honed characters will earn a place in readers' hearts."
Library Journal


[A] richly textured, addictive novel stretching back and forth through time, from contemporary London to the late seventeenth century… [with] a suspenseful literary tale that serves as a compelling tribute to women across the centuries committed to living, breathing, and celebrating the life of the mind.
Booklist


Kadish's characters are memorable, and we're treated to a host of them: pious rabbis and ribald actors, socialites and troubled young men, Mossad agents and rule-worshipping archivists.… Kadish leaves no stone unturned in this moving historical epic. Chock-full of rich detail and literary intrigue.
