Occur the London of the 1660s and of the first 21st hundred years, The Weight of Printer ink is the interwoven story of two women of exceptional intellect: Ester Velasquez, an emigrant from Amsterdam who's permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi just before the plague strikes the city, and Helen Watt, an ailing historian with a love of Jewish record. As the novel opens, Helen has been summoned by way of a former student to view a cache of 17th-century Jewish documents newly found out in his home during a renovation. Enlisting the assistance of Aaron Levy, an American graduate university student as impatient as he is charming, and in a contest with another fast-moving team of historians, Helen embarks on one last task: to look for the personal information of the documents' scribe, the elusive "Aleph". Electrifying and ambitious, sweeping in scope and personal in tone, The Weight of Printer ink is a advanced work of historical fiction about women segregated by centuries, and the options and sacrifices they need to make in order reconcile the life span of the heart and soul and mind.
